Add a flag to control DSQ iteration across layers by layer weight. This
helps prevent starvation by iterating over layers with the lowest weight
first.

`layer_core_order` provided multiple core growth implementation
Break it up into smaller function. Also, attach the method to
LayerGrowthAlgo. And `LayerCoreOrderGenerator` is added to make future
growth algo extension easy.

As the main.bpf.c file grows, it gets hard to maintain.
So, split it into multiple logical files. There is no
functional change.

Remove a short-circuit in cpu_to_dom_id that will return domain id 0 for
any input.
This fixes a crash of scx_rusty when running with a single domain and
any CPU is offline.

task_avg_nvcsw() was incorrectly returning a bool instead of u64,
limiting the impact of the lowlatency boost.
Fix it by returning the proper type (u64).

When a task is the last one running on a CPU and still wants to
continue, allow it to run and replenish its time only if the used CPU is
part a fully idle SMT core.

During ttwu, the kernel may decide to skip ->select_task_rq() (e.g.,
when only one CPU is allowed or migration is disabled). This causes to
call ops.enqueue() directly without having a chance to call
ops.select_cpu().
Therefore, introduce a new flag (select_cpu_done) in the local task
context to determine if ops.select_cpu() was bypassed and, in that case,
attempt to find an idle CPU directly from ops.enqueue().
In the future this information will be supplied by the kernel through a
special enqueue flag (SCX_ENQ_CPU_SELECTED) [1]. However, the custom
flag in the local task context ensures to reliably determine the same
information, even on older kernels where this flag is not available.

We used the average performance criticality of tasks as a threshold to
determine the proper core type (big or little). However, if the big
core's compute capacity is not half of the total compute capacity, such
an average-based determination becomes suboptimal. If fewer tasks are
classified as performance-critical tasks and requested to run on big
cores, the big cores would be wasted by stealing arbitrary
non-performance-critical tasks. That could result in performance
instability.
Hence, determine the threshold more accurately by considering (active)
big cores' compute capacity and the (approximated) distribution of
performance criticality of tasks.

Add an enum for the layer growth algo to the bpf layer config. This will
be useful for implementing topology aware layer growth algorithms.
When selecting an idle CPU the current logic tries to keep tasks
local to LLC/NUMA node. However, for certain growth algorithms (ex:
RoundRobin) this is suboptimal. Adding the layer growth algorithm
will allow for different paths for CPU selection in the idle/preemption
paths.

* enable ide's etc. to work on the bpf.c files
this makes it so that clangd and ide tools which use clangd
can work on the bpf.c code.
nothing should actually be changed outside of that ide/editor
environment, all the changes are ifdef'ed on LSP which is set
in the added .clangd file.
* move intf include out of both sides of ifdef toggle
