Maximilian Luz b09ee1cd59 platform/surface: aggregator: Rename top-level request functions to avoid ambiguities
We currently have a struct ssam_request_sync and a function
ssam_request_sync(). While this is valid C, there are some downsides to
it.

One of these is that current Sphinx versions (>= 3.0) cannot
disambiguate between the two (see disucssion and pull request linked
below). It instead emits a "WARNING: Duplicate C declaration" and links
for the struct and function in the resulting documentation link to the
same entry (i.e. both to either function or struct documentation)
instead of their respective own entries.

While we could just ignore that and wait for a fix, there's also a point
to be made that the current naming can be somewhat confusing when
searching (e.g. via grep) or trying to understand the levels of
abstraction at play:

We currently have struct ssam_request_sync and associated functions
ssam_request_sync_[alloc|free|init|wait|...]() operating on this struct.
However, function ssam_request_sync() is one abstraction level above
this. Similarly, ssam_request_sync_with_buffer() is not a function
operating on struct ssam_request_sync, but rather a sibling to
ssam_request_sync(), both using the struct under the hood.

Therefore, rename the top level request functions:

  ssam_request_sync() -> ssam_request_do_sync()
  ssam_request_sync_with_buffer() -> ssam_request_do_sync_with_buffer()
  ssam_request_sync_onstack() -> ssam_request_do_sync_onstack()
