sched: Remove __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW

Now that the last architecture to use this has stopped doing so (ARM,
thanks Catalin!) we can remove this complexity from the scheduler
core.

 Unlocked context switches introduce only a very minor performance
 penalty to the core scheduler implementation in the CONFIG_SMP case.
 
-2. Interrupt status
-By default, the switch_to arch function is called with interrupts
-disabled. Interrupts may be enabled over the call if it is likely to
-introduce a significant interrupt latency by adding the line
-`#define __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW` in the same place as for
