sched: Introduce efficiency, load_scale_factor and capacity

Efficiency reflects instructions per cycle capability of a cpu.

load_scale_factor reflects magnification factor that is applied for
task load when estimating bandwidth it will consume on a cpu. It
accounts for the fact that task load is scaled in reference to "best"
cpu that has best efficiency factor and also best possible max_freq.
Note that there may be no single CPU in the system that has both the
best efficiency and best possible max_freq, but that is still the
combination that all task load in the system is scaled against.

capacity reflects max_freq and efficiency metric of a cpu. It is
defined such that the "least" performing cpu (one with lowest
efficiency factor and max_freq) gets capacity of 1024. Again, there
may not be a CPU in the system that has both the lowest efficiency
and lowest max_freq. This is still the combination that is assigned
a capacity of 1024 however, other CPU capacities are relative to this.
