sched/clock: Move the implementation of clock() from libs/libc/time to sched/clock. This is necessary because it calls the (now) internal OS function clock_systimer. clock() is now accessed only via a system call in certain configuratins.
libs/libc/wqueue: Replace calls to clock_systimer() with calls to the equivalent clock().
Squashed commit of the following:
sched: Rename all use of system_t to clock_t.
syscall: Rename all use of system_t to clock_t.
net: Rename all use of system_t to clock_t.
libs: Rename all use of system_t to clock_t.
fs: Rename all use of system_t to clock_t.
drivers: Rename all use of system_t to clock_t.
arch: Rename all use of system_t to clock_t.
include: Remove definition of systime_t; rename all use of system_t to clock_t.
The time slice check will decrement the currently running task's time slice allotment. If such a context switch occurs, then the newly started task will lost one could of that allotment before it even has a chance to run.

Fix SMP related bugs
* sched/sched: Fix a deadlock in SMP mode
Two months ago, I introduced sched_tasklist_lock() and
sched_tasklist_unlock() to protect tasklists in SMP mode.
Actually, this change works pretty well for HTTP audio
streaming aging test with lc823450-xgevk.
However, I found a deadlock in the scheduler when I tried
similar aging tests with DVFS autonomous mode where CPU
clock speed changed based on cpu load. In this case, call
sequences were as follows;
cpu1: sched_unlock()->sched_mergepending()->sched_addreadytorun()->up_cpu_pause()
cpu0: sched_lock()->sched_mergepending()
To avoid this deadlock, I added sched_tasklist_unlock() when calling
up_cpu_pause() and sched_addreadytorun(). Also, added
sched_tasklist_lock() after the call.

lc823450 smp test
* sched/clock: Replace critical section APIs with spin lock APIs in clock_gettime.c
This change will improve performance for SMP systems but nothing

* sched/sched: Remove unnecessary DEBUGASSERT in sched_removereadytorun.c
In SMP mode, rtrtcb is not always at the g_readytorun.head.
This change removes DEBUGASSERT() to avoid this condition.

Fix signal handing for smp
* sched/signal: Remove SMP related logic in sig_dispatch.c
This change prevents from a deadlock in up_schedulesigaction.c
where inter-CPU signal handling is actually implemented.

* arch/arm/src/armv7-m: Fix signal handling for SMP
In previous implementation, signal handling for SMP was incorrect.
Thus, for example, if an inter-CPU signal happened an incorret tcb
was signaled and caused ASSERT().
This change fixes the issues and works for both inter-CPU signal
handling and signal handling on the same CPU.

sched/: Convert legitimate uses of task_create() to nxtask_create(). Review handling of returned values from all uses of kthread_create() (as well as nxtask_create()).
graphics/: Review return values for all calls to kthread_start() because it no longer returns an errno.
drivers/: threads started by drivers should be kernel threads, not user tasks. Review return values for all calls to kthread_start() because it no longer returns an errno.
configs/: threads started by board bringup logic should be kernel threads, not user tasksi (part 2 of 2).
sched/task: Add nxtask_create(). Kthread_create() and nxtask_create() are internal OS functions and should not modify the errno variable. configs/: threads started by board bringup logic should be kernel threads, not user tasks.
The previous implementation of clearing global IRQ in sched_addreadytorun()
and sched_removereadytorun() was done too early. As a result, nxsem_post()
would have a chance to enter the critical section even nxsem_wait() is
still not in blocked state. This patch moves clearing global IRQ controls
from sched_addreadytorun() and sched_removereadytorun() to sched_resumescheduler()
to ensure that nxsem_post() can enter the critical section correctly.
For this change, sched_resumescheduler.c is always necessary for SMP configuration.
In addition, by this change, task_exit() had to be modified so that it calls
sched_resumescheduler() because it calls sched_removescheduler() inside the
function, otherwise it will cause a deadlock.
However, I encountered another DEBUGASSERT() in sched_cpu_select() during
HTTP streaming aging test on lc823450-xgevk. Actually sched_cpu_select()
accesses the g_assignedtasks which might be changed by another CPU. Similarly,
other tasklists might be modified simultaneously if both CPUs are executing
scheduling logic. To avoid this, I introduced tasklist protetion APIs.
With these changes, SMP kernel stability has been much improved.

All usage of sched_getparam() within the OS is replaced with nxsched_getparam().
