sched/nxevent: add support of kernel event group

Events groups are synchronization primitives that allow tasks to wait
for multiple conditions to be met before proceeding. They are particularly
useful in scenarios where a task needs to wait for several events to occur
simultaneously.

+Events
+==============
+
+Events groups are synchronization primitives that allow tasks to wait
+for multiple conditions to be met before proceeding. They are particularly
+useful in scenarios where a task needs to wait for several events to occur
+simultaneously.
+This concept can be particularly powerful in real-time operating systems (RTOS).
+
+Overview
+=========================
+
+An event group consists of a set of binary flags, each representing a
+specific event. Tasks can set, clear, and wait on these flags. When a
+task waits on an event group, it can specify which flags it is interested
+in and whether it wants to wait for all specified flags to be set or just
+any one of them.
+
+Configuration Options
+=====================
+
+``CONFIG_SCHED_EVENTS``
+	 This option enables event objects. Threads may wait on event
+	 objects for specific events, but both threads and ISRs may deliver
+	 events to event objects.
+
+Common Events Interfaces
+================================
+
+Events Types
+--------------------
+
+-  ``nxevent_t``. Defines one event group entry.
+-  ``nxevent_mask_t``. Defines one events mask value.
+
+Notifier Chain Interfaces
+-------------------------
+
+.. c:function:: int nxevent_init(FAR nxevent_t *event, nxevent_mask_t events)
+
+  Initializes an event object, Set of default events to post
+  to event.
+
+  :param event: Address of the event object
+  :param events: Set of events to post to event
+
+.. c:function:: int nxevent_destroy(FAR nxevent_t *event)
+
+  This function is used to destroy the event.
+
+  :param event: Address of the event object
+
+.. c:function:: int nxevent_reset(FAR nxevent_t *event, nxevent_mask_t events)
+
+  Reset events mask to a specific value.
+
+  :param event: Address of the event object
+  :param events: Set of events to post to event
+
+.. c:function:: int nxevent_post(FAR nxevent_t *event, nxevent_mask_t events)
+
+  Post one or more events to an event object.
+
+  This routine posts one or more events to an event object. All tasks
+  waiting on the event object event whose waiting conditions become
+  met by this posting immediately unpend.
+
+  Posting differs from setting in that posted events are merged together
+  with the current set of events tracked by the event object.
+
+  :param event: Address of the event object
+  :param events: Set of events to post to event
+                 Set events to 0 will be considered as any,
+                 waking up the waiting thread immediately.
+
+.. c:function:: nxevent_mask_t nxevent_wait(FAR nxevent_t *event, nxevent_mask_t events)
+
+  Wait for all of the specified events.
+
+  This routine waits on event object event until all of the specified
+  events have been delivered to the event object. A thread may wait on
+  up to 32 distinctly numbered events that are expressed as bits in a
+  single 32-bit word.
+
+  :param event: Address of the event object
+  :param events: Set of events to wait, 0 will indicate wait from any events
+
+.. c:function:: nxevent_mask_t nxevent_tickwait(FAR nxevent_t *event, nxevent_mask_t events, uint32_t delay)
+
+  Wait for all of the specified events for the specified tick time.
+
+  This routine waits on event object event until all of the specified
+  events have been delivered to the event object, or the maximum wait time
+  timeout has expired. A thread may wait on up to 32 distinctly numbered
+  events that are expressed as bits in a single 32-bit word.
+
+  :param event: Address of the event object.
+  :param events: Set of events to wait, 0 will indicate wait from any events
+  :param delay: Ticks to wait from the start time until the event is posted,
+                If ticks is zero, then this function is equivalent to nxevent_trywait().
+
+.. c:function:: nxevent_mask_t nxevent_trywait(FAR nxevent_t *event, nxevent_mask_t events)
+
+  Try wait for all of the specified events.
+
+  This routine try to waits on event object event if any of the specified
+  events have been delivered to the event object. A thread may wait on
+  up to 32 distinctly numbered events that are expressed as bits in a
+  single 32-bit word.
+
+  :param event: Address of the event object
+  :param events: Set of events to wait, 0 will indicate wait from any events
