Pre release version: Strong APA Scheduler

[Richi Dubey]

Hi,

I am really excited to annonunce the pre-release verion of Strong APA
Scheduer for RTEMS that we've been working so hard for!

The documentation for the scheduler is now live at :
https://richidubey.github.io/Strong-APA-Documentation/html/

To understand how the code works, please go through these links (in order):

Documentation for Struct defined for various uses

Improvements over v1
<https://github.com/richidubey/rtems/blob/9bb37330e2c91a2fbd5bf3236770acb06d3466b3/cpukit/include/rtems/score/schedulersmpimpl.h#L1093>
(after
last <https://github.com/richidubey/rtems/pull/4> review):

- Better coding style and variable naming
- Better documentation
- Successfully runs the Strong APA test

Plans for v2:

- Use chain of scheduled nodes present in SMP Context rather than per cpu
variables based on this
<https://lists.rtems.org/pipermail/devel/2020-August/061520.html> discussion
- Work on the reviews

I would request you to provide your reviews on whether the variables names
that I chose makes sense (like the array Struct) and if my code follows the
coding conventions. Also, please let me know if there's anything that's
still looks wrong in the code.

Please use this
<https://lists.rtems.org/pipermail/devel/2020-August/061559.html> patch or
this <https://github.com/richidubey/rtems/pull/7> pull request to checkout
my changes.

Thanks,
Richi.
