sched: Implement a gentler fair-sleepers feature 

Add back FAIR_SLEEPERS and GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS.

FAIR_SLEEPERS is the old logic: credit sleepers with their sleep time.

GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS dampens this a bit: 50% of their sleep time gets
credited.

The hope here is to still give the benefits of fair-sleepers logic
(quick wakeups, etc.) while not allow them to have 100% of their
sleep time as if they were running.
