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.

`_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.

Make `struct arch_esf` compulsory for all architectures by
declaring it in the `arch_interface.h` header.
After this commit, the named struct `z_arch_esf_t` is only used
internally to generate offsets, and is slated to be removed
from the `arch_interface.h` header in the future.

The interface to flush fpu is not unique to one architecture, make it a
generic, optional interface that can be implemented (and overriden) by a
platform.

- IRQ state for the interrupted context corresponds to the PIE bit not
the IE bit.
- Restoring the saved FPU state should clear the entire field before
or'ing wanted bits in.

We can leverage the FPU dirty state as an indicator for preemptively
reloading the FPU content when a thread that did use the FPU before
being scheduled out is scheduled back in. This avoids the FPU access
trap overhead when switching between multiple threads with heavy FPU
usage.

Instead of saving/restoring FPU content on every exception and task
switch, this replaces FPU sharing support with a "lazy" (on-demand)
context switching algorithm similar to the one used on ARM64.
Every thread starts with FPU access disabled. On the first access the
FPU trap is invoked to:
- flush the FPU content to the previous thread's memory storage;
- restore the current thread's FPU content from memory.
When a thread loads its data in the FPU, it becomes the FPU owner.
FPU content is preserved across task switching, however FPU access is
either allowed if the new thread is the FPU owner, or denied otherwise.
A thread may claim FPU ownership only through the FPU trap. This way,
threads that don't use the FPU won't force an FPU context switch.
If only one running thread uses the FPU, there will be no FPU context
switching to do at all.
It is possible to do FP accesses in ISRs and syscalls. This is not the
norm though, so the same principle is applied here, although exception
contexts may not own the FPU. When they access the FPU, the FPU content
is flushed and the exception context is granted FPU access for the
duration of the exception. Nested IRQs are disallowed in that case to
dispense with the need to save and restore exception's FPU context data.
This is the core implementation only to ease reviewing. It is not yet
hooked into the build.
