sched_ext: Implement scx_bpf_now()

Returns a high-performance monotonically non-decreasing clock for the current
CPU. The clock returned is in nanoseconds.

It provides the following properties:

1) High performance: Many BPF schedulers call bpf_ktime_get_ns() frequently
 to account for execution time and track tasks' runtime properties.
 Unfortunately, in some hardware platforms, bpf_ktime_get_ns() -- which
 eventually reads a hardware timestamp counter -- is neither performant nor
 scalable. scx_bpf_now() aims to provide a high-performance clock by
 using the rq clock in the scheduler core whenever possible.

2) High enough resolution for the BPF scheduler use cases: In most BPF
 scheduler use cases, the required clock resolution is lower than the most
 accurate hardware clock (e.g., rdtsc in x86). scx_bpf_now() basically
 uses the rq clock in the scheduler core whenever it is valid. It considers
 that the rq clock is valid from the time the rq clock is updated
 (update_rq_clock) until the rq is unlocked (rq_unpin_lock).

3) Monotonically non-decreasing clock for the same CPU: scx_bpf_now()
 guarantees the clock never goes backward when comparing them in the same
 CPU. On the other hand, when comparing clocks in different CPUs, there
 is no such guarantee -- the clock can go backward. It provides a
 monotonically *non-decreasing* clock so that it would provide the same
 clock values in two different scx_bpf_now() calls in the same CPU
 during the same period of when the rq clock is valid.

An rq clock becomes valid when it is updated using update_rq_clock()
and invalidated when the rq is unlocked using rq_unpin_lock().

Let's suppose the following timeline in the scheduler core:

   T1. rq_lock(rq)
   T2. update_rq_clock(rq)
   T3. a sched_ext BPF operation
   T4. rq_unlock(rq)
   T5. a sched_ext BPF operation
   T6. rq_lock(rq)
   T7. update_rq_clock(rq)

For [T2, T4), we consider that rq clock is valid (SCX_RQ_CLK_VALID is
set), so scx_bpf_now() calls during [T2, T4) (including T3) will
return the rq clock updated at T2. For duration [T4, T7), when a BPF
scheduler can still call scx_bpf_now() (T5), we consider the rq clock
is invalid (SCX_RQ_CLK_VALID is unset at T4). So when calling
scx_bpf_now() at T5, we will return a fresh clock value by calling
sched_clock_cpu() internally. Also, to prevent getting outdated rq clocks
from a previous scx scheduler, invalidate all the rq clocks when unloading
a BPF scheduler.

One example of calling scx_bpf_now(), when the rq clock is invalid
(like T5), is in scx_central [1]. The scx_central scheduler uses a BPF
timer for preemptive scheduling. In every msec, the timer callback checks
if the currently running tasks exceed their timeslice. At the beginning of
the BPF timer callback (central_timerfn in scx_central.bpf.c), scx_central
gets the current time. When the BPF timer callback runs, the rq clock could
be invalid, the same as T5. In this case, scx_bpf_now() returns a fresh
clock value rather than returning the old one (T2).
