- This makes the scheduler side simpler and allows on-demand monitoring.
- OpenMetrics support is dropped for now. Will add a generic tool for it.
- This is a naive conversion. Will be further refined.
scx_layered no longer prints statistics by default. To watch statistics, run
`scx_layered --monitor` while the scheduler is running.
Update libbpf-rs & libbpf-cargo to 0.24. Among other things, generated
skeletons now contain directly accessible map and program objects, no
longer necessitating the use of accessor methods. As a result, the risk
for mutability conflicts is reduced greatly.

sched_ext is about to be merged upstream. There are some compatibility
breaking changes and we're making the current sched_ext/for-6.11
1edab907b57d ("sched_ext/scx_qmap: Pick idle CPU for direct dispatch on
!wakeup enqueues") the baseline.
Tag everything except scx_mitosis as 1.0.0. As scx_mitosis is still in early
development and is currently temporarily disabled, only the patchlevel is
bumped.
Currently scx_layered outputs statistics periodically as info! logs. The
format of this is largely unstructured and mostly suitable for running
scx_layered interactively (e.g. observing its behavior on the command
line or via logs after the fact).
In order to run scx_layered at larger scale, it's desireable to have
statistics output in some format that is amenable to being ingested into
monitoring databases (e.g. Prometheseus). This allows collection of
stats across many machines.
This commit adds a command line flag (-o) that outputs statistics to
stdout in OpenMetrics format instead of the normal log mechanism.
OpenMetrics has a public format
specification (https://github.com/OpenObservability/OpenMetrics) and is
in use by many projects.
The library for producing OpenMetrics metrics is lightweight but does
induce some changes. Primarily, metrics need to be pre-registered (see
OpenMetricsStats::new()).
Without -o, the output looks as before, for example:

After updates to reflect the updated init and direct dispatch API, the
schedulers aren't compatible with older kernels. Bump versions and publish
releases.
- combine c and kernel-examples as it's confusing to have both
- rename 'rust-user' and 'c-user' to just 'rust' and 'c', which is simpler
- update and fix sync-to-kernel.sh
