Kernel: Add a basic thread boosting mechanism

This patch introduces a syscall:

    int set_thread_boost(int tid, int amount)

You can use this to add a permanent boost value to the effective thread
priority of any thread with your UID (or any thread in the system if
you are the superuser.)

This is quite crude, but opens up some interesting opportunities. :^)
