Mostly a revert of commit b1def7145f ("arch: deprecate `_current`").
This commit was part of PR #80716 whose initial purpose was about providing
an architecture specific optimization for _current. The actual deprecation
was sneaked in later on without proper discussion.
The Zephyr core always used _current before and that was fine. It is quite
prevalent as well and the alternative is proving rather verbose.
Furthermore, as a concept, the "current thread" is not something that is
necessarily architecture specific. Therefore the primary abstraction
should not carry the arch_ prefix.
Hence this revert.

Sleeping and suspended are now orthogonal states. That is, a thread
may be both sleeping and suspended and the two do not interact. One
repercussion of this is that suspending a thread will no longer
abort its timeout.
Threads are now created in the 'sleeping' state instead of a
'suspended' state. This dovetails nicely with the start delay that
can be given to a newly created thread--it is as though the very
first operation that a thread with a start delay is a sleep.

At the present time, Zephyr does has overlap between sleeping and
suspending. Not only should sleeping and suspended be orthogonal
states, but we should ensure users always employ the correct API.
For example, to wake a sleeping thread, k_wakeup() should be used,
and to resume a suspended thread, k_thread_resume() should be used.
However, at the present time k_thread_resume() can be used on a
thread that called k_sleep(K_FOREVER). Sleeping should have nothing
to do with suspension.
This commit introduces the new _THREAD_SLEEPING thread state along
with some prep-work to facilitate the decoupling of the sleeping and
suspended thread states.

Traditionally threads have been initialized with a PRESTART flag set,
which gets cleared when the thread runs for the first time via either
its timeout or the k_thread_start() API.
But if you think about it, this is no different, semantically, than
SUSPENDED: the thread is prevented from running until the flag is
cleared.
So unify the two. Start threads in the SUSPENDED state, point
everyone looking at the PRESTART bit to the SUSPENDED flag, and make
k_thread_start() be a synonym for k_thread_resume().
There is some mild code size savings from the eliminated duplication,
but the real win here is that we make space in the thread flags byte,
which had run out.

`_current` is now functionally equals to `arch_curr_thread()`, remove
its usage in-tree and deprecate it instead of removing it outright,
as it has been with us since forever.

Re-orders the checks in should_preempt() tests so that the
z_is_thread_timeout_active() check is done last.
This change has been observed to give a +7% performance boost on
the thread_metric benchmark's preemptive scheduling test.

Move out of thread and put directly in init.c where it is being used.
Also remove definition from kernel.h, this is an internal function and
should not be in a public header.
