rv/rtapp: Add wakeup monitor

Add a wakeup monitor to detect a lower-priority task waking up a
higher-priority task.

The rtapp/sleep monitor already detects this. However, that monitor
triggers an error in the context of the wakee task and user only gets
the stacktrace of that task. It is also extremely useful to get the
stacktrace of the waker task, which this monitor offers. In other
words, this monitor complements the rtapp/sleep monitor.

Monitor wakeup
++++++++++++++
The `wakeup` monitor reports real-time threads being woken by lower-priority threads,
which is a hint of priority inversion. Its specification is::
RULE = always (((RT and USER_THREAD) imply
(not (WOKEN_BY_LOWER_PRIO or WOKEN_BY_SOFTIRQ)) or ALLOWLIST))
ALLOWLIST = BLOCK_ON_RT_MUTEX
or FUTEX_LOCK_PI
The `sleep` monitor already reports this type of problem. The difference is the
context in which the problem is reported. While the `sleep` monitor reports the problem
in the context of the wakee, this `wakeup` monitor reports the problem in the context of
the waker. This monitor complement the `sleep` monitor, giving user better
understanding of the issue. For instance, to debug a lower-priority task waking a
higher-priority task scenario, user can enable both `wakeup` monitor and `sleep`
monitor to get the stack traces of both tasks.

This monitor detects a lower-priority task waking up a
higher-priority task. The RV_MON_SLEEP monitor already
detects this case, but this monitor detects in the context
of the waker task instead. This and RV_MON_SLEEP can be
enabled together to get the stacktrace of both the waker
task and the wakee task.
