lib/min_heap: introduce non-inline versions of min heap API functions

Patch series "Enhance min heap API with non-inline functions and
optimizations", v2.

Add non-inline versions of the min heap API functions in lib/min_heap.c
and updates all users outside of kernel/events/core.c to use these
non-inline versions.  To mitigate the performance impact of indirect
function calls caused by the non-inline versions of the swap and compare
functions, a builtin swap has been introduced that swaps elements based on
their size.  Additionally, it micro-optimizes the efficiency of the min
heap by pre-scaling the counter, following the same approach as in
lib/sort.c.  Documentation for the min heap API has also been added to the
core-api section.


This patch (of 10):

All current min heap API functions are marked with '__always_inline'. 
However, as the number of users increases, inlining these functions
everywhere leads to a increase in kernel size.

In performance-critical paths, such as when perf events are enabled and
min heap functions are called on every context switch, it is important to
retain the inline versions for optimal performance.  To balance this, the
original inline functions are kept, and additional non-inline versions of
the functions have been added in lib/min_heap.c.
