Related to #4186.
Some notable changes:
- The term 'Error' now strictly refers to native Error objects defined in
the ECMA standard, which are ordinary objects. All other uses of
'error' or 'error reference' where the term refers to a thrown value is
now called 'exception'.
- Simplified the naming scheme of many String API functions. These functions
will now also take an 'encoding' argument to specify the desired
encoding in which to operate.
- Removed the substring-copy-to-buffer functions. These functions
behaved awkwardly, as they use character index to specify the
start/end positions, and were mostly used incorrectly with byte
offsets instead. The functionality can still be replicated with
other functions if necessary.
- String-to-buffer functions will no longer fail if the buffer is not
sufficiently large, the string will instead be cropped.
- Fixed the usage of the '_sz' prefix in many API functions. The term
'sz' means zero-terminated string in hungarian notation, this was
used incorrectly in many cases.
- Renamed most of the public API functions to have shorter, more on-point
names, rather than the often too long descriptive names. Functions are now
also grouped by the type of value they operate on, where this makes
sense.

Moved all public API headers under the `jerry-core/include`
directory. This makes installing all the public headers easier.
Also, should we have new public headers in the future, their
installation will be automatic, there will be no need to update the
build files. Moreover, this aligns better with the structure of
other libraries in the project (in those cases, public headers
always reside in `<library>/include`).
Moved all public API implementations under the `jerry-core/api`
directory. This cleans up the root directory of `jerry-core`,
moving all implementation code under "modules", i.e.,
subdirectories. This also makes the future splitting of the big and
monolithic `jerry.c` along features easier, if needed. (Debugger
and snapshot-related functions are already in separate sources.)
Notes:
* `jerryscript.h` is split up to separate header files along
feature boundaries. These new headers are included by
`jerryscript.h`, so this is not a breaking change but header
modularization only.
* `jerry-snapshot.h` is still under `jerry-core/api`, keeping it as
a non-public header.
* This commit also adapts all targets to the include path change.
