In 0.3.2.1-alpha, we've added notify_networkstatus_changed() in order to have
a way to notify other subsystems that the consensus just changed. The old and
new consensus are passed to it.
Before this patch, this was done _before_ the new consensus was set globally
(thus NOT accessible by getting the latest consensus). The scheduler
notification was assuming that it was set and select_scheduler() is looking at
the latest consensus to get the parameters it might needs. This was very wrong
because at that point it is still the old consensus set globally.
This commit changes the notify_networkstatus_changed() to be the "before"
function and adds an "after" notification from which the scheduler subsystem
is notified.
Fixes#24975
Each type of scheduler implements its own static scheduler_t object and
returns a reference to it.
This commit also makes it a const pointer that is it can only change inside
the scheduler type subsystem but not outside for extra protection.

Instead, add wrappers to do the needed action the different scheduler needs
with the libevent object.

This option is a list of possible scheduler type tor can use ordered by
priority. Its default value is "KIST,KISTLite,Vanilla" which means that KIST
will be used first and if unavailable will fallback to KISTLite and so on.

Add a detection for the KIST scheduler in our build system and set
HAVE_KIST_SUPPORT if available.
Adapt the should use kist function with this new compile option.

This is a big-ish patch, but it's very straightforward. Under this
clang warning, we're not actually allowed to have a global variable
without a previous extern declaration for it. The cases where we
violated this rule fall into three roughly equal groups:
* Stuff that should have been static.
* Stuff that was global but where the extern was local to some
other C file.
* Stuff that was only global when built for the unit tests, that
needed a conditional extern in the headers.
The first two were IMO genuine problems; the last is a wart of how
we build tests.
