RV per-task monitors are implemented through a monitor structure
available for each task_struct. This structure is reset every time the
monitor is (re-)started, to avoid inconsistencies if the monitor was
activated previously.
To do so, we reset the monitor on all threads using the macro
for_each_process_thread. However, this macro excludes the idle tasks on
each CPU. Idle tasks could be considered tasks on their own right and it
should be up to the model whether to ignore them or not.
Reset monitors also on the idle tasks for each present CPU whenever we
reset all per-task monitors.

In Linux terms, the runtime verification monitors are encapsulated
inside the "RV monitor" abstraction. The "RV monitor" includes a set
of instances of the monitor (per-cpu monitor, per-task monitor, and
so on), the helper functions that glue the monitor to the system
reference model, and the trace output as a reaction for event parsing
and exceptions, as depicted below:

Add the rv/da_monitor.h, enabling automatic code generation for the
*Monitor Instance(s)* using C macros, and code to support it.
The benefits of the usage of macro for monitor synthesis are 3-fold as it:
- Reduces the code duplication;
- Facilitates the bug fix/improvement;
- Avoids the case of developers changing the core of the monitor code
to manipulate the model in a (let's say) non-standard way.
This initial implementation presents three different types of monitor
instances:
- DECLARE_DA_MON_GLOBAL(name, type)
- DECLARE_DA_MON_PER_CPU(name, type)
- DECLARE_DA_MON_PER_TASK(name, type)
The first declares the functions for a global deterministic automata monitor,
the second for monitors with per-cpu instances, and the third with per-task
instances.
