Tomasz Bursztyka 8d7bb8ffd8 device: Refactor device structures
When the device driver model got introduced, there were no concept of
SYS_INIT() which can be seen as software service. These were introduced
afterwards and reusing the device infrastructure for simplicity.
However, it meant to allocate a bit too much for something that only
required an initialization function to be called at right time.

Thus refactoring the devices structures relevantly:
- introducing struct init_entry which is a generic init end-point
- struct deviceconfig is removed and struct device owns everything now.
- SYS_INIT() generates only a struct init_entry via calling
  INIT_ENTRY_DEFINE()
- DEVICE_AND_API_INIT() generates a struct device and calls
  INIT_ENTRY_DEFINE()
- init objects sections are in ROM
- device objects sections are in RAM (but will end up in ROM once they
  will be 'constified')

It also generate a tiny memory gain on both ROM and RAM, which is nice.

Perhaps kernel/device.c could be renamed to something more relevant.
