sched/idle: Move the cpuidle entry point to the generic idle loop
In order to integrate cpuidle with the scheduler, we must have a better
proximity in the core code with what cpuidle is doing and not delegate
such interaction to arch code.
Architectures implementing arch_cpu_idle() should simply enter
a cheap idle mode in the absence of a proper cpuidle driver.
In both cases i.e. whether it is a cpuidle driver or the default
arch_cpu_idle(), the calling convention expects IRQs to be disabled
on entry and enabled on exit. There is a warning in place already but
let's add a forced IRQ enable here as well. This will allow for
removing the forced IRQ enable some implementations do locally and
allowing for the warning to trig.
