sched/eevdf: Use sched_attr::sched_runtime to set request/slice suggestion

Allow applications to directly set a suggested request/slice length using
sched_attr::sched_runtime.

The implementation clamps the value to: 0.1[ms] <= slice <= 100[ms]
which is 1/10 the size of HZ=1000 and 10 times the size of HZ=100.

Applications should strive to use their periodic runtime at a high
confidence interval (95%+) as the target slice. Using a smaller slice
will introduce undue preemptions, while using a larger value will
increase latency.

For all the following examples assume a scheduling quantum of 8, and for
consistency all examples have W=4:

  {A,B,C,D}(w=1,r=8):

  ABCD...

  C    |------< C            |------<
  D     |------< D     |------<
  ---+----*--+-------+--- ---+------*+-------+---

Note: 4 identical tasks in FIFO order

  C            |------<                 C            |------<

Note: 1 heavy task -- because q=8, double r such that the deadline of the w=2
      task doesn't go below q.

Note: observe the full schedule becomes: W*max(r_i/w_i) = 4*2q = 8q in length.

Note: the period of the heavy task is half the full period at:
      W*(r_i/w_i) = 4*(2q/2) = 4q

Note: 1 short task -- again double r so that the deadline of the short task
      won't be below q. Made B short because its not the leftmost task, but is
      eligible with the 0,1,2,3 spread.

Note: like with the heavy task, the period of the short task observes:
      W*(r_i/w_i) = 4*(1q/1) = 4q

Note: as before but permuted

From all this it can be deduced that, for the steady state:

 - the total period (P) of a schedule is: W*max(r_i/w_i)
 - the average period of a task is: W*(r_i/w_i)
 - each task obtains the fair share: w_i/W of each full period P
