Josef Söntgen caac994da8 lx_kit: decouple schedule execution
Prior to this commit, whenever an external event occurred, for example
timer or interrupt, the corresponding I/O signal handler was triggered.
This handler unblocked the task waiting for the event and initiated the
immediate execution of all unblocked tasks. Since these tasks may hit
serialization points, e.g. synchronously waiting for packet stream
operations, that require handling of other I/O signals this leads to
nested execution. This, however, is not supported and mixes application
and I/O level signal handling.

The flagging of the scheduling intent is now decoupled from its
execution by using an application level signal handler that is run in
the context of the components main entrypoint. The I/O signal handler
now triggers the scheduling execution by sending a local signal to
the EP.

Since it might be necessary to execute a pending schedule from the EP
directly the scheduler is extended with the 'execute' member function
that performs the check that the scheduler is called from within the
EP and triggers the execution afterwards.

Issue #4927.
