7cc9621d11 sched: Add Schedulers torrc option
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.

Wrap things in HAVE_KIST_SUPPORT until Tor compiles and tests cleanly on
my OS X machine.

a06f2a0509 sched: Fallback to naive approach if no runtime KIST support
It is possible that tor was compiled with KIST support but the running kernel
has no support for it. In that case, fallback to a naive approach and flag
that we have no kernel support.

At this commit, if the kernel support is disabled, there are no ways to come
back from it other than restarting tor with a kernel that supporst KIST.

2034e0d1d4 sched: Groundwork before KIST implementation
- HT_FOREACH_FN defined in an additional place because nickm did that
  in an old kist prototype
- Make channel_more_to_flush mockable for future sched tests
- Add empty scheduler_{vanilla,kist}.c files and put in include.am
