Pseudo resets allow for `otPlatReset()` to reset the OpenThread state
without resetting the chip. This is important if the SoC is presenting
itself as a USB device.
The build option `OPENTHREAD_PLATFORM_USE_PSEUDO_RESET` can be used to
force this feature to be enabled or disabled by setting it to `1` or
`0` accordingly. Otherwise it will be set to a platform-specified
default value.
The existing platform.h is really a part of the examples and not a part of
OpenThread core. This commit moves the platform.h out of the public API
and into the examples directory.
This commit new configuration option `enable-multiple-instances` and
its corresponding option `OPENTHREAD_ENABLE_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES`. When
enabled OpenThread supports handling of multiple instances. By default
this is disabled.
This commit also adds two optimizations for single instance case to
simplify the code and also help reduce memory/RAM usage:
(1) OpenThread objects/classes typically keep a reference to a higher
level object (e.g., many classes keep track of owning `ThreadNetif`)
to be able to access other objects/methods within OpenThread class
hierarchy. In single instance mode, the reference member variables are
removed and instead global functions are used to access the singleton
objects from one class to the other. To implement this, a group of
`<Object>Locator` classes are defined (e.g., `ThreadNetifLocator`,
etc.) which are then used as base class of other OpenThread classes.
(2) OpenThread objects which provide a callback/handler (e.g.,
`Timer`, `Tasklet`, etc.) have `void *mContext` member variable which
is used to keep track of the owner of the object. In single instance
mode the `mConext` member variables are removed since the owner is
expected to be a singleton and can be uniquely determined from the
callback function.
To implement this, two changes are made: First the handler methods are
modified to provide a reference to the object (e.g., `Timer` handler
will provide a `Timer &aTimer` as a parameter of its handler
callback). Second, a new base class `Context` is introduced which
hides the implementation providing an arbitrary context information. A
new static method `GetOwner(aContext)` is added to classes which own a
callback providing objects. This method help convert a `Context` to
the reference of the owner class object.

- move platform.h from "examples/platform" to "include/platform"
- add test_diag.cpp to test diagnostics module
* Add a configuration option that would enable/disable diagnostics module
Add --enable-diag configuration option to enable/disable diagnostics module when building OpenThread.
* Redefine otEnable/otDisable to just initialize/uninitialize the OpenThread stack.
* Remove otInit API since it is replaced by otEnable.
* Add otInterfaceUp/otInterfaceDown APIs to bring up/down IPv6 interface.
