score: Add thread priority to scheduler nodes

The thread priority is manifest in two independent areas.  One area is
the user visible thread priority along with a potential thread queue.
The other is the scheduler.  Currently, a thread priority update via
_Thread_Change_priority() first updates the user visble thread priority
and the thread queue, then the scheduler is notified if necessary.  The
priority is passed to the scheduler via a local variable.  A generation
counter ensures that the scheduler discards out-of-date priorities.

This use of a local variable ties the update in these two areas close
together.  For later enhancements and the OMIP locking protocol
implementation we need more flexibility.  Add a thread priority
information block to Scheduler_Node and synchronize priority value
updates via a sequence lock on SMP configurations.

Update #2556.
