Introduce shell support based on zephyr shell subsystem with a BM specific backend based on NRFX UARTE. This provides at least feature parity with nRF5 (https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/sdk_nrf5_v17.1.0/page/lib_cli.html) since the zephyr implementation is waay nicer IMO. It also naturally provides a nice upgrade path to NCS given its the same shell subsystem :)
Size of shell sample (shell + console):
compared with uarte peripheral sample (console only):
We can estimate that shell support adds 6kB FLASH, 700B RAM.
