Electron: Scheduling Algorithms

To Do:

• Design changes -- Possible to have one scheduler with different scheduling schemes?
• Fix the race condition on 'tasksRunning' in proactiveclusterwidecappingfcfs.go and proactiveclusterwidecappingranked.go
• Separate the capping strategies from the scheduling algorithms and make it possible to use any capping strategy with any scheduler.
• Make newTask(...) variadic where the newTaskClass argument can either be given or not. If not give, then pick task.Watts as the watts attribute, else pick task.ClassToWatts[newTaskClass].
• Retrofit pcp/proactiveclusterwidecappers.go to include the power capping go routines and to cap only when necessary.

Scheduling Algorithms:

• First Fit
• First Fit with sorted watts
• Bin-packing with sorted watts
• FCFS Proactive Cluster-wide Capping
• Ranked Proactive Cluster-wide Capping
• Piston Capping -- Works when scheduler is run with WAR
