sched/rt, Kconfig: Introduce CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT

Add a new entry to the preemption menu which enables the real-time support
for the kernel. The choice is only enabled when an architecture supports
it.

It selects PREEMPT as the RT features depend on it. To achieve that the
existing PREEMPT choice is renamed to PREEMPT_LL which select PREEMPT as
well.

No functional change.

help
This option turns the kernel into a real-time kernel by replacing
various locking primitives (spinlocks, rwlocks, etc.) with
preemptible priority-inheritance aware variants, enforcing
interrupt threading and introducing mechanisms to break up long
non-preemptible sections. This makes the kernel, except for very
low level and critical code pathes (entry code, scheduler, low
level interrupt handling) fully preemptible and brings most
execution contexts under scheduler control.
Select this if you are building a kernel for systems which
require real-time guarantees.
