Jerome Forissier 1c8e166fb5 arch: introduce initjmp() and Kconfig symbol HAVE_INITJMP
Add the HAVE_INIJMP symbol to be set by architectures that support
initjmp(), a non-standard extension to setjmp()/longjmp() allowing to
initialize a jump buffer with a function pointer and a stack pointer.
This will be useful to later introduce threads. With this new function
it becomes possible to longjmp() to a particular function pointer
(rather than to a point previously reached during program execution as
is the case with setjmp()), and with a custom stack. Both things are
needed to spin off a new thread. Then the usual setjmp()/longjmp() pair
is enough to save and restore a context, i.e., switch thread.

Add the initjmp() prototype to <include/setjmp.h> since it is common to
all architectures.

Add an entry to the API documentation: doc/api/setjmp.rst.

/**
* DOC: Overview
*
* The long jump API allows to perform nonlocal gotos, that is jump from one
* function to another typically further down in the stack, while properly
* restoring the stack's state (unwinding). The two functions needed to do this
* are setjmp() and longjmp().
*
* In addition to these two standard POSIX.1-2001/C89 functions, a third one is
* present in U-Boot: initjmp(). It is an extension which allows to implement
* user-mode threads.
