kernel: sem: add K_SEM_MAX_LIMIT



Currently there is no way to distinguish between a caller
explicitly asking for a semaphore with a limit that
happens to be `UINT_MAX` and a semaphore that just
has a limit "as large as possible".

Add `K_SEM_MAX_LIMIT`, currently defined to `UINT_MAX`, and akin
to `K_FOREVER` versus just passing some very large wait time.

In addition, the `k_sem_*` APIs were type-confused, where
the internal data structure was `uint32_t`, but the APIs took
and returned `unsigned int`. This changes the underlying data
structure to also use `unsigned int`, as changing the APIs
would be a (potentially) breaking change.

These changes are backwards-compatible, but it is strongly suggested
to take a quick scan for `k_sem_init` and `K_SEM_DEFINE` calls with
`UINT_MAX` (or `UINT32_MAX`) and replace them with `K_SEM_MAX_LIMIT`
where appropriate.
