/**
* PIdleScheduler is the protocol for cross-process idle scheduling.
* Only child processes participate in the scheduling and parent process
* can run its idle tasks whenever it needs to.
*
* The scheduler keeps track of the following things.
* - Activity of the main thread of each child process. A process is active
* when it is running tasks. Because of performance cross-process
* counters in shared memory are used for the activity tracking. There is
* one counter counting the activity state of all the processes and one
* counter for each process. This way if a child process crashes, the global
* counter can be updated by decrementing the per process counter from it.
* - Child processes running prioritized operation. Top level page loads is an
* example of a prioritized operation. When such is ongoing, idle tasks are
* less likely to run.
* - Idle requests. When a child process locally has idle tasks to run, it
* requests idle time from the scheduler. Initially requests go to a wait list
* and the scheduler runs and if there are free logical cores for the child
* processes, idle time is given to the child process, and the process goes to
* the idle list. Once idle time has been consumed or there are no tasks to
* process, child process informs the scheduler and the process is moved back
* to the default queue.
