Description: Realtime Policy and Watchdog Daemon

This finally allows us us to securely enable RT scheduling by default for user
software such as PulseAudio which really could benefit from it.

This is a dependency of upcoming PA 0.9.16.

This all depends on a kernel patch that is already in Ingo's tree on the way
into mainline and Kyle wants to integrate into the Rawhide kernel very soon. On
systems that lack this patch you'll just get a bit of spew in syslog, and
clients won't be allowed to get RT scheduling, but nothing should fail beyond
that.
