documentation: core-api: rearrange a few kernel-api chapters and sections
Rearrange some kernel-api chapters and sections to group them
together better.
- move Bit Operations from Basic C Library Functions to Basic
Kernel Library Functions (now adjacent to Bitmap Operations since
they are not typical C library functions)
- move Sorting from Math Functions to Basic Kernel Library Functions
since sort functions are more Basic than Math Functions
- move Text Searching from Math Functions to Basic Kernel Library
Functions (keep Sorting and Searching close to each other)
- combine CRC and Math functions together into the (newly named)
CRC and Math Functions chapter
