Support automatic thread stack allocation for pthread_create(), which is required as part of IEEE Std. 1003.2017 (and all earlier versions).

For more info, see
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/pthread_create.html

Fixes #25973

(Note: This depends on #44379 and #59773)

Previously, the kernel stack size was adjusted for no apparent
reason.

With some of the recent work to disable unnecessary system
calls, there is a scenario where `z_impl_k_thread_stack_free()`
is not defined and an undefined symbol error occurs.

Safety was very concerned that dynamic thread stack code might
touch other code that does not malloc, so add a separate file
for the stack alloc and free stubs.

This change allows users to call pthread_create() with
the pthread_attr_t argument equal to NULL.

If Zephyr is configured with `CONFIG_DYNAMIC_THREAD`, then a
suitable thread stack will be allocated via
k_thread_stack_alloc(). The allocated thread stack is
automatically freed via k_thread_stack_free().

This makes the Zephyr implementation of pthread_create()
compliant with the normative spec.

Looks ready; had a question about whether you want to require any attribute use to include a stack as that doesn't seem entirely compatible with POSIX? Happy to let that come in a later PR.

There are other use cases - another PR would be good and a kconfig of course.
