[dvsim] Do weighted scheduling of jobs

This patch adds rough weights to each target (build, run, cov etc). If
the slots are fully utilized and just one becomes available, the
weighted scheduling will prefer the earlier targets than the latter. If
multiple tests pass and more slots are available, then it distrubutes
the available slots to each remaining target by their assigned weights.

The weights are set such that builds have the highest preference,
followed by coverage tasks followed by runs. The reason for doing so is
as follows:

Lets say that all build are complete and only the simulation and
coverage jobs are queued up. If all tests of AES are complete, then its
coverage tasks will end up starving until ALL tests in ALL other blocks
are complete. With weighted allocation of dispatch slots, AES coverage
tasks will complete sooner, providing us an early preview of the
results, rather than having to wait 3+ hours for the rest of the
simulation to finish.

Weights are currently set based on relative importance. We can always
adjust them as needed.

About the project

OpenTitan is an open source silicon Root of Trust (RoT) project. OpenTitan will make the silicon RoT design and implementation more transparent, trustworthy, and secure for enterprises, platform providers, and chip manufacturers. OpenTitan is administered by lowRISC CIC as a collaborative project to produce high quality, open IP for instantiation as a full-featured product. See the OpenTitan site and OpenTitan docs for more information about the project.
