cmake: implement build infrastructure for supporting SCA tools.

Static code analyser (SCA) tools are important in software development.

CMake offers built-in support for some tools, such as cppcheck and
clang-tidy.

Other tools, such as sparse, are not directly supported.

This commit provides a uniform way for users to specify a supported
SCA using `ZEPHYR_SCA_VARIANT=<tool>` which is consistent with how
toolchains are specified.
ZEPHYR_SCA_VARIANT can be set using `-D` or in environment.

Support for an SCA tool is done in `cmake/sca/<tool>/sca.cmake`.
SCA_ROOT can be used to specify additional search paths when looking up
implementation for a tool. SCA_ROOT can also be specified in
`zephyr/module.yml` as setting. This makes it possible to provide SCA
tool implementation as part of a Zephyr module.
