sched_ext: Add task state tracking operations



Being able to track the task runnable and running state transitions are
useful for a variety of purposes including latency tracking and load factor
calculation.

Currently, BPF schedulers don't have a good way of tracking these
transitions. Becoming runnable can be determined from ops.enqueue() but
becoming quiescent can only be inferred from the lack of subsequent enqueue.
Also, as the local dsq can have multiple tasks and some events are handled
in the sched_ext core, it's difficult to determine when a given task starts
and stops executing.

This patch adds sched_ext_ops.runnable(), .running(), .stopping() and
.quiescent() operations to track the task runnable and running state
transitions. They're mostly self explanatory; however, we want to ensure
that running <-> stopping transitions are always contained within runnable
<-> quiescent transitions which is a bit different from how the scheduler
core behaves. This adds a bit of complication. See the comment in
dequeue_task_scx().
