Priority-ordered waiting lists were sorted with a comparator wrapper per
object (msgpipe, fpl, vpl), or searched with a copy of the same function
(mutex, mbx). HLEKernel::SortWaitingThreadsByPriority() and
FindBestPriorityWaiter() now do both for any waiting list, of thread ids
or of structs with a threadID.
HLEKernel::ClearWaitingThreads() replaces the identical cancel/delete
loops in semaphores, event flags, fpl and vpl.

Semaphores, event flags, mutexes, lwmutexes, mbx, msgpipes, fpl, vpl,
tlspl and WaitThreadEnd each had their own CoreTiming event, handler
registration and savestate entry for wait timeouts, and their own function
to schedule one. Now one event (WaitThreadEnd's, renamed) times out all of
them, keyed by thread, and dispatches on the thread's wait type to a
timeoutFunc registered alongside the begin/end callback functions.
__KernelWaitCurThreadWithTimeout() starts such a wait, and the HLEKernel
helpers have overloads that use the shared event.
Old savestates still load: each object's section reads its old event id
and points it at the shared handler, so a timeout pending in the state
goes off as before. Checked with a state saved mid-wait by the previous
build, and with four games.
The one behaviour change: tlspl timeouts now follow the same hardware
rule as the others, where they used the raw timeout.

Every wait with a timeout behaves the same on hardware (pspautotests
threads/scheduling/waittimeouts). The deadline is taken, and the alarm set
up a moment later. If the deadline has passed by then, the wait fails with
WAIT_TIMEOUT at once, without yielding or writing the timeout back. That's
usual for 0us, half the time for 1us, and rare after; AllocateVpl does more
first. Otherwise it ends max(t, 205us) + ~35us after the call. Each object
had its own guess (24/245, 25/250, 20/250 and so on), and only MsgPipe had
the immediate case.
__KernelWaitTimesOutAtOnce() and __KernelWaitTimeoutUs() now do it for
semaphores, event flags, mutexes, lwmutexes, mbx, msgpipes, fpl, vpl and
WaitThreadEnd. The latency past the deadline isn't counted in the time
left written back.
Outcomes that hardware decides by the clock's phase (these, and
sceKernelDelayThread returning at once) go with the likelier one. Ones
between 50% and certain are instead spread evenly over calls, so a polling
loop can't lock into never yielding (sceKernelThread section version 7).
This replaces the pseudo-random choice for delays.
Also adds threads/scheduling/readyqueue, which already passes.

Verified against pspautotests threads/callbacks/waittypes:
- __KernelThreadingInit() cleared the wait type callback table after
__KernelMemoryInit() had registered VPL and FPL in it, so a VPL or FPL
wait interrupted by a callback was never paused or resumed, and could
hang forever.
- A msgpipe deleted during a callback left its waiter waiting, instead
of waking it with WAIT_DELETE.
- A wait that got its object during a callback reported no time left;
put the timer back before trying to unlock, so the unlock writes what
remains.

CoreTiming::UnscheduleEvent returns the scheduled time minus the current time,
which is negative when the event is overdue but hasn't been processed yet - the
exact situation when a wait is satisfied right around its own timeout. Only the
semaphore clamped it; everywhere else we wrote (u32)cyclesToUs(negative) into
the game's timeout variable, i.e. a huge bogus "remaining time".
Pulled the shared shape into HLEKernel::WriteRemainingTimeout so it can't drift
apart again - event flags, mbx, fpl, vpl, msgpipe, mutex, lwmutex and semaphore
all go through it now. The two thread-end sites keep their own copy since they
unschedule even when the game passed no timeout pointer, and sceUsb just gets
the clamp.
A delay of 0 never reschedules, actually, unless there's a better priority
thread. A greater delay depends on if a >= or similar check matches, but
generally is at least 200us.
It seems like this actually completes in at least another 10-20us.
Turns out it's a deadline to wake up by, which makes sense.
