sched/rt, Kconfig: Introduce CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT

Add a new entry to the preemption menu which enables the real-time support
for the kernel. The choice is only enabled when an architecture supports
it.

It selects PREEMPT as the RT features depend on it. To achieve that the
existing PREEMPT choice is renamed to PREEMPT_LL which select PREEMPT as
well.

No functional change.
