With this patch, users can now customize the pipeline selection strategy for
scheduler resources. The resource selection strategy can be defined at processor
resource granularity. This enables the definition of different strategies for
different hardware schedulers.
To override the strategy associated with a processor resource, users can call
method ResourceManager::setCustomStrategy(), and pass a 'ResourceStrategy'
object in input.
Class ResourceStrategy is an abstract class which declares virtual method
`ResourceStrategy::select()`. Method select() is meant to implement the actual
strategy; it is responsible for picking the next best resource from a set of
available pipeline resources. Custom strategy must simply override that method.
By default, processor resources are associated with instances of
'DefaultResourceStrategy'. A 'DefaultResourceStrategy' internally implements a
simple round-robin selector. For more details, please refer to the code comments
in Scheduler.h.
