kernel: pipes: rewrite pipes implementation
This new implementation of pipes has a number of advantages over the
previous.
1. The schedule locking is eliminated both making it safer for SMP
and allowing for pipes to be used from ISR context.
2. The code used to be structured to have separate code for copying
to/from a wating thread's buffer and the pipe buffer. This had
unnecessary duplication that has been replaced with a simpler
scatter-gather copy model.
3. The manner in which the "working list" is generated has also been
simplified. It no longer tries to use the thread's queuing node.
Instead, the k_pipe_desc structure (whose instances are on the
part of the k_thread structure) has been extended to contain
additional fields including a node for use with a linked list. As
this impacts the k_thread structure, pipes are now configurable
in the kernel via CONFIG_PIPES.
Fixes #47061
