sched_ext: Add a selftest for scx_bpf_dsq_peek

This commit adds two tests. The first is the most basic unit test:
make sure an empty queue peeks as empty, and when we put one element
in the queue, make sure peek returns that element.

However, even this simple test is a little complicated by the different
behavior of scx_bpf_dsq_insert in different calling contexts:
 - insert is for direct dispatch in enqueue
 - insert is delayed when called from select_cpu

In this case we split the insert and the peek that verifies the
result between enqueue/dispatch.

Note: An alternative would be to call `scx_bpf_dsq_move_to_local` on an
empty queue, which in turn calls `flush_dispatch_buf`, in order to flush
the buffered insert. Unfortunately, this is not viable within the
enqueue path, as it attempts a voluntary context switch within an RCU
read-side critical section.

The second test is a stress test that performs many peeks on all DSQs
and records the observed tasks.
