A very first attempt to let sched_setscheduler() do something possibly

This patch is on top of
Cygwin: setpriority, sched_setparam: add missing process access right
Looks quite nice. If you're confident this is ready for the main
branch, just give the word!
Yes, initial tests look good. Related documentation update attached.
ISTR those settings from that priority mapping documented somewhere -
winsup/doc/specialnames.xml pathnames-proc "The /proc filesystem" proc(5)
/proc/PID/stat (18) priority and (19) nice - which are generated as proc.5 and
cygwin-ug-net/proc.html for cygwin-doc package.
Package man-pages-linux also has /usr/share/man/linux/man5/proc_pid_stat.5.gz
which it would be good to compare set see if there were conflicts?
It would be good to state in a release note what has changed in the mapping or
effect e.g. SCHED_OTHER now uses only NICE and SCHED_FIFO/RR use only PRIORITY?
I will have to search my Cygwin docs and code to see where things are mentioned
or used.
