Sync to vmlinux.h from sched_ext/for-6.11 1edab907b57d ("sched_ext/scx_qmap:
Pick idle CPU for direct dispatch on !wakeup enqueues"). This most likely
will be the commit which will be merged during the upcoming kernel v6.11
merge window.
Unfortunately, this is a compatibility breaking change. As the size of
bpf_iter_scx_dsq is reduced, schedulers that use the iterator - scx_lavd and
scx_layered - won't be able to run on older kernels. Likewise, older
binaries from before this commit won't be able to run on newer kernels.
If we try to cross-build scx on builders with older versions of system's
linux headers (such as those provided by linux-libc-headers in older
releases of Ubuntu), we may hit build failures, due to the different
kernel ABI, such as:
error: invalid use of undefined type ‘struct btf_enum64’
To address this, introduce a new build option called "kernel_headers"
that allows to specify a custom path for the kernel headers required
during the build process.

When Ubuntu ships with sched_ext, we can also maybe test loading the
schedulers (not sure if the runners can run as root though). For now, we
should at least have a CI job that lets us verify that the schedulers
can _build_. To that end, this patch adds a basic CI action that builds
the schedulers.
As is, this is a bit brittle in that we're having to manually download
and install a few dependencies. I don't see a better way for now without
hosting our own runners with our own containers, but that's a bigger
investment. For now, hopefully this will get us _some_ coverage.

- 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
