libc/picolibc: Support 'long long' and 'minimal' printf variants



Picolibc's 'minimal' printf mode reduces functionality and size even more
than the 'integer' mode. Use this where memory is at a premium and where
the application knows that it does not require exact printf semantics.

1.8.5 adds two more printf variants, 'long long' and 'minimal'. The 'long
long' variant is the same as the 'integer' variant but with long long
support enabled. The 'minimal' variant reduces functionality and size even
more than the 'integer' mode. Applications can use this where memory is at
a premium and where the application does not require exact printf
semantics.

With these two added variants, the SDK has enough options so that all of
the cbprintf modes can be supported with the pre-compiled bits:

 1. CBPRINTF_NANO - picolibc's 'minimal' variant
 2. CBPRINTF_REDUCED_INTEGRAL - picolibc's 'integer' variant
 3. CBPRINTF_FULL_INTEGRAL - picolibc's 'long long' variant
 4. CBPRINTF_FB_SUPPORT - picolibc's 'double' variant

This patch makes the cbprintf Kconfig values drive the default picolibc
variant, disables picolibc variants not capable of supporting the required
cbprintf level, but allows applications to select more functionality in
picolibc than cbprintf requires.

Note that this depends on the SDK including picolibc 1.8.5. Without that,
selecting the 'minimal' or 'long long' variant in Zephyr will end up with
the default variant from picolibc, which is the full version with floating
point support. When using the module things will work as specified.
