APA Scheduler Documentation Missing?

[Joel Sherrill]

I think it is an update/rename of the SMP Deterministic Priority Scheduler
with Affinity.

For sure, the list of CONFIGURE_SCHEDULER_xxx constants in confdefs.h
does not match the list documented in Configuring a System or the list
of schedulers in Scheduling Concepts.

Sebastian should know the "truth" and be able to adjust the docs to match.
