Use preemptive EDF scheduler with ecall-based switch
This commit introduces a preemptive Earliest Deadline First (EDF) scheduler that uses RISC-V ecall instructions for voluntary context switches while preserving the existing cooperative scheduling mode. The preemptive scheduler required several architectural changes. Tasks now maintain separate stack pointer (sp) fields for ISR-based context switching, distinct from the jmp_buf context used in cooperative mode. The dispatcher accepts a from_timer parameter to distinguish timer-driven preemption from voluntary yields, ensuring tick counters only increment on actual timer interrupts. Context switching in preemptive mode builds ISR stack frames with mepc pointing to task entry points, allowing mret to resume execution. The ecall handler invokes the dispatcher directly, enabling tasks to yield without relying on setjmp/longjmp which are incompatible with interrupt contexts. The cooperative mode preserves its setjmp/longjmp semantics. The dispatcher always calls hal_context_restore() even when the same task continues, because the longjmp completes the save/restore cycle initiated by hal_context_save(). The hal_interrupt_tick() function enables interrupts on a task's first run by detecting when the entry point still resides in the context's return address slot. Real-time scheduling support includes EDF with deadline-based priority calculation, configurable through mo_task_rt_priority(). The RT scheduler hook in KCB allows custom scheduling policies. Delay handling was enhanced with batch updates to minimize critical section duration. The logger subsystem gained a direct_mode flag for ISR-safe output, and printf was made flush-aware to support synchronous output when needed. Exception handling uses trap_puts() to avoid printf deadlock in trap context. Close #26
