Changed for consistency with other scheduler operations.

This enables to call this scheduler operation for all scheduler nodes
available to a thread.

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counter ensures that the scheduler discards out-of-date priorities.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.

Previously, the _Thread_Heir was updated unconditionally in case a new
heir was determined. The _Thread_Dispatch_necessary was only updated in
case the executing thread was preemptible or an internal thread was
unblocked. Change this to update the _Thread_Heir and
_Thread_Dispatch_necessary only in case the currently selected heir
thread is preemptible or a dispatch is forced. Move the schedule
decision into the change priority operation and use the schedule
operation only in rtems_task_mode() in case preemption is enabled or an
ASR dispatch is necessary. This is a behaviour change. Previously, the
RTEMS_NO_PREEMPT also prevented signal delivery in certain cases (not
always). Now, signal delivery is no longer influenced by
RTEMS_NO_PREEMPT. Since the currently selected heir thread is used to
determine if a new heir is chosen, non-preemptible heir threads
currently not executing now prevent a new heir. This may have an
application impact, see change test tm04. Document this change in sp04.
Update #2273.

Return a thread in need for help for the following scheduler operations
- unblock,
- change priority, and
- yield.
A thread in need for help is a thread that encounters a scheduler state
change from scheduled to ready or a thread that cannot be scheduled in
an unblock operation. Such a thread can ask threads which depend on
resources owned by this thread for help.

The function to change a thread priority was too complex. Simplify it
with a new scheduler operation. This increases the average case
performance due to the simplified logic. The interrupt disabled
critical section is a bit prolonged since now the extract, update and
enqueue steps are executed atomically. This should however not impact
the worst-case interrupt latency since at least for the Deterministic
Priority Scheduler this sequence can be carried out with a wee bit of
instructions and no loops.
Add _Scheduler_Change_priority() to replace the sequence of
- _Thread_Set_transient(),
- _Scheduler_Extract(),
- _Scheduler_Enqueue(), and
- _Scheduler_Enqueue_first().
Delete STATES_TRANSIENT, _States_Is_transient() and
_Thread_Set_transient() since this state is now superfluous.
With this change it is possible to get rid of the
SCHEDULER_SMP_NODE_IN_THE_AIR state. This considerably simplifies the
implementation of the new SMP locking protocols.
