This request is similar to pmc_request_cpus and pmc_request_memory.

The idea is to add support for priority to PMC so that PMC can execute high priority tasks first. To, for example, prevent the long tent pole problem.

What we need is for the pmc_priority profile in the DAX to be added to the PMC DAG.

I am adding a -p / --priority option to PMC. It works like this:

TASK t001 -p 10 /bin/date

The priority values are integers. Negative values are allowed. The default is 0. Larger values mean higher priority.
