Strong APA Scheduler Implementation

[Sebastian Huber]

Hello Darshit,

I update the smpstrongapa01 test to use table driven test actions to 
carry out test cases:

https://git.rtems.org/rtems/tree/testsuites/smptests/smpstrongapa01/init.c#n103

This should be enough to thoroughly test this scheduler. You can run the 
test via:

qemu-system-arm -no-reboot -net none -nographic -M realview-pbx-a9 -m 
256M -smp 4 -icount 8 -kernel smpstrongapa01.exe

Please update the ticket

https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/2510

as soon as possible with your ideas with respect to

* the data structures, e.g. per thread Scheduler_strong_APA_Node and per 
scheduler instance Scheduler_strong_APA_Context,

* the algorithms to block and unblock a thread, and

* test scenarios.
