rv: Add option for nested monitors and include sched
Monitors describing complex systems, such as the scheduler, can easily
grow to the point where they are just hard to understand because of the
many possible state transitions.
Often it is possible to break such descriptions into smaller monitors,
sharing some or all events. Enabling those smaller monitors concurrently
is, in fact, testing the system as if we had one single larger monitor.
Splitting models into multiple specification is not only easier to
understand, but gives some more clues when we see errors.
Add the possibility to create container monitors, whose only purpose is
to host other nested monitors. Enabling a container monitor enables all
nested ones, but it's still possible to enable nested monitors
independently.
Add the sched monitor as first container, for now empty.

verification/dot2k: Auto patch current kernel source
dot2k suggests a list of changes to the kernel tree while adding a
monitor: edit tracepoints header, Makefile, Kconfig and moving the
monitor folder. Those changes can be easily run automatically.
Add a flag to dot2k to alter the kernel source.
The kernel source directory can be either assumed from the PWD, or from
the running kernel, if installed.
This feature works best if the kernel tree is a git repository, so that
its easier to make sure there are no unintended changes.
The main RV files (e.g. Makefile) have now a comment placeholder that
can be useful for manual editing (e.g. to know where to add new
monitors) and it is used by the script to append the required lines.
We also slightly adapt the file handling functions in dot2k: __open_file
is now called __read_file and also closes the file before returning the
content; __create_file is now a more general __write_file, we no longer
return on FileExistsError (not thrown while opening), a new
__create_file simply calls __write_file specifying the monitor folder in
the path.

rv/monitor: Add the wwnr monitor
Per task wakeup while not running (wwnr) monitor.
This model is broken, the reason is that a task can be running in the
processor without being set as RUNNABLE. Think about a task about to
sleep:
1: set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
2: schedule();
And then imagine an IRQ happening in between the lines one and two,
waking the task up. BOOM, the wakeup will happen while the task is
running.
Q: Why do we need this model, so?
A: To test the reactors.

rv/monitor: Add the wip monitor
The wakeup in preemptive (wip) monitor verifies if the
wakeup events always take place with preemption disabled:

sched_waking +------------------+ |
+--------------- | | |

+--------------> | | -+
+------------------+
The wakeup event always takes place with preemption disabled because
of the scheduler synchronization. However, because the preempt_count
and its trace event are not atomic with regard to interrupts, some
inconsistencies might happen.
The documentation illustrates one of these cases.
