Doesn't set nice(2) value

[devyn]

I was kind of expecting this crate on UNIX to call nice(2) in order to mark the thread as lower priority, but it doesn't. At least on Linux so far it seems I'm able to set the thread policy to Batch and that worked successfully, but Linux doesn't seem to do anything at all with the priority value; that's more for the realtime/deadline schedulers.

Am I looking for the wrong thing? I ended up just calling libc::nice() in my application.

Hi @devyn! Thanks for a good question.
Seems like something I should consider working on here.

Initially I thought that nice also changes the scheduling policy to RR or FIFO, but now it turns out it also works with non-realtime thread scheduling policies, so this is an overlook from my side.

Just indicating that it is still in progress.

Done in #22

Please test it if you still use the crate.
