docs, schema, conf: Add support for setting scheduler parameters of guest threads

In order for QEMU vCPU (and other) threads to run with RT scheduler, libvirt needs to take care of that so QEMU doesn't have to run privileged. Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1178986 Signed-off-by: Martin Kletzander <mkletzan@redhat.com>

+        The optional <code>vcpusched</code> elements specifies the scheduler
+        type (values <code>batch</code>, <code>idle</code>, <code>fifo</code>,
+        <code>rr</code>) for particular vCPU/IOThread threads (based on
+        <code>vcpus</code> and <code>iothreads</code>, leaving out
+        <code>vcpus</code>/<code>iothreads</code> sets the default).  For
+        real-time schedulers (<code>fifo</code>, <code>rr</code>), priority must
+        be specified as well (and is ignored for non-real-time ones). The value
+        range for the priority depends on the host kernel (usually 1-99).
