c3abe035c8 [kernel] Remove thread_data pointer from TCB
The TCB is always stored at a constant offset within the thread object.
So instead of carrying an extra pointer, just implement thread::from_tcb
to get the thread.

b4adc29d7f [kernel] Give scheduler better history tracking
The scheduler again tracks remaining timeslice. Timeslices are bigger,
but once a process uses all of its timeslice, it's demoted and
replenished at the next priority. The scheduler also tracks the last
time a process ran, and promotes it if it's been starved for twice its
full timeslice.

TODO: replenish a small amount of timeslice each time a process is run,
so that more interactive processes keep their priorities.
