cmake: sca: iar: Add IAR C-STAT

This commit adds support for IAR C-STAT Static Analysis
in the Zephyr's SCA Framework.

By specifying -DZEPHYR_SCA_VARIANT=iar in west, a SQLite
database file will be generated under build/sca/iar.

+IAR C-STAT support
+##################
+
+`IAR C-STAT <https://iar.com/cstat>`__ is a comprehensive static analysis tool for
+C/C++ source code. It can find errors and vulnerabilities supporting a number of
+coding standards such as MISRA C, MISRA C++, CERT C/C++ and CWE.
+
+Installing IAR C-STAT
+*********************
+
+IAR C-STAT comes pre-installed with the IAR Build Tools and with the IAR Embedded
+Workbench. Refer to your respective product's documentation for details.
+
+Building with IAR C-STAT
+************************
+
+To run IAR C-STAT, :ref:`west build <west-building>` should be called with
+a ``-DZEPHYR_SCA_VARIANT=iar`` parameter, e.g.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    west build -b stm32f429ii_aca samples/basic/blinky -- -DZEPHYR_SCA_VARIANT=iar
+
+Configuring IAR C-STAT
+***********************
+
+The IAR C-STAT accepts parameters for customizing the analysis.
+The following table lists the supported options.
+
+.. list-table::
+   :header-rows: 1
+
+   * - Parameter
+     - Description
+   * - ``CSTAT_RULESET``
+     - The pre-defined ruleset to be used. (default: ``stdchecks``, accepted values: ``all,cert,misrac2004,misrac2012,misrac++2008,stdchecks,security``)
+   * - ``CSTAT_ANALYZE_THREADS``
+     - The number of threads to use in analysis. (default: <CPU count>)
+   * - ``CSTAT_ANALYZE_OPTS``
+     - Arguments passed to the ``analyze`` command directly. (e.g. ``--timeout=900;--deterministic;--fpe``)
+   * - ``CSTAT_DB``
+     - Override the default location of the C-STAT SQLite database. (e.g. ``/home/user/cstat.db``)
+   * - ``CSTAT_CLEANUP``
+     - Perform a cleanup of the C-STAT SQLite database. (e.g. ``true``)
+
+These parameters can be passed on the command line, or be set as environment variables.
