kernel: Explicitly define the main prototype if C++

If the embedded application has a main(),
Zephyr requires it to have a signature with
C linkage (no C++ name mangling).
Otherwise Zephyr's init will not call it,
but will call the default weak stub.

But, when building with clang/llvm, when we
build calling the compiler with --frestanding
(for ex if CONFIG_MINIMAL_LIBC is set), the
compiler will mangle the main() symbol name.

This is not incorrect behavior from the compiler,
as, in principle, in a freestanding environment
main() does not have a special meaning.

gcc is still not mangling it when called with
--frestanding.

To avoid this issue, we define explicitly
the main linkage as extern C,
in a header the application will always include.
