In the POSIX architecture, with the inf_clock "SOC", time does
not pass while the CPU is running. Tests that require time to pass
while busy waiting should call k_busy_wait() or in some other way
set the CPU to idle. This test was setting the CPU to idle while
waiting for the next time slice. This is ok if the system tick
(timer) is active and awaking the CPU every system tick period.
But when configured in tickless mode that is not the case, and the
CPU was set to sleep for an indefinite amount of time.
This commit fixes it by using k_busy_wait(a few microseconds) inside
that busy wait loop instead.

The test kernel.sched.preempt was hanging in the posix arch,
due to a busy wait loop in wakeup_src_thread() added in
a803af2fa7.
We fix it by halting the cpu to let time pass in the posix
arch.

Scheduler choice is subtle across yield and k_sleep(), add calls to
those to the state table and validate that we're making the right
decisions.

This test exaustively tests preemption points between threads of all
priority classes (cooperative, preemptible, and metairq), done both
from a synchronous reschedule (via k_sem_give() and from interrupt
context (via irq_offload()), and with and without the sched_lock()
held. It then detects the next thread that runs and validates vs. the
documented priority rules.
Note that there is a whitelisted case on ARM, where irq_offload()
seems not to be working like a true interrupt (it always returns to
the interrupted context and doesn't seem to hit the normal exception
return path which can context switch). And native_posix is excluded
because of failures and the fact that it's actually never possible to
truly preempt a thread there (they run to completion inside _Swap()
et. al. and then block themselves). Both of these should be fixable
in the future but don't (seem to) directly relate to this test.
