Title: Memory Slab APIs

Description:

This test verifies that the kernel memory slab APIs operate as expected.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Building and Running Project:

This project outputs to the console.  It can be built and executed
on QEMU as follows:

    make run

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Troubleshooting:

Problems caused by out-dated project information can be addressed by
issuing one of the following commands then rebuilding the project:

    make clean          # discard results of previous builds
                        # but keep existing configuration info
or
    make pristine       # discard results of previous builds
                        # and restore pre-defined configuration info

(3) - Further allocation results in  timeout in <main>
===================================================================

main: start to wait for block
===================================================================
(4) - Free a block in <helper_thread> to unblock the other task from alloc timeout
===================================================================

(5) <helper_thread> freeing the next block
===================================================================
helper_thread: About to free another memory block
main: k_mem_slab_alloc OK, block allocated at 0x00406400
