 score: Rework thread priority management

 Add priority nodes which contribute to the overall thread priority.

 The actual priority of a thread is now an aggregation of priority nodes.
 The thread priority aggregation for the home scheduler instance of a
 thread consists of at least one priority node, which is normally the
 real priority of the thread.  The locking protocols (e.g. priority
 ceiling and priority inheritance), rate-monotonic period objects and the
 POSIX sporadic server add, change and remove priority nodes.

 A thread changes its priority now immediately, e.g. priority changes are
 not deferred until the thread releases its last resource.

 Replace the _Thread_Change_priority() function with

  * _Thread_Priority_perform_actions(),
  * _Thread_Priority_add(),
  * _Thread_Priority_remove(),
  * _Thread_Priority_change(), and
  * _Thread_Priority_update().

 Update #2412.
 Update #2556.
