score: Implement scheduler helping protocol

The following scheduler operations return a thread in need for help

  • unblock,
  • change priority, and
  • yield.

A thread in need for help is a thread that encounters a scheduler state
change from scheduled to ready or a thread that cannot be scheduled in
an unblock operation. Such a thread can ask threads which depend on
resources owned by this thread for help.

Add a new ask for help scheduler operation. This operation is used by
_Scheduler_Ask_for_help() to help threads in need for help returned by
the operations mentioned above. This operation is also used by
_Scheduler_Thread_change_resource_root() in case the root of a resource
sub-tree changes. A use case is the ownership change of a resource.

In case it is not possible to schedule a thread in need for help, then
the corresponding scheduler node will be placed into the set of ready
scheduler nodes of the scheduler instance. Once a state change from
ready to scheduled happens for this scheduler node it may be used to
schedule the thread in need for help.
