 score: Add thread priority to scheduler nodes

 The thread priority is manifest in two independent areas.  One area is
 the user visible thread priority along with a potential thread queue.
 The other is the scheduler.  Currently, a thread priority update via
 _Thread_Change_priority() first updates the user visble thread priority
 and the thread queue, then the scheduler is notified if necessary.  The
 priority is passed to the scheduler via a local variable.  A generation
 counter ensures that the scheduler discards out-of-date priorities.

 This use of a local variable ties the update in these two areas close
 together.  For later enhancements and the OMIP locking protocol
 implementation we need more flexibility.  Add a thread priority
 information block to Scheduler_Node and synchronize priority value
 updates via a sequence lock on SMP configurations.

 Update #2556.
