execution, but because it is allocated on the snapshotting heap, this
leak goes away after an execution ends. So, rather than spending more

it traverses all the ModelAction/Promise edges, including those that are

schedule: simplify Scheduler::select_next_thread()
Now that the "select next thread" vs. "set_current_thread" is clear, we
don't actually need to set the value of 'current' in
select_next_thread().

schedule: split Scheduler::next_thread() into separate functions
next_thread() is basically overloaded to perform two different
functions, depending on the parameters. In one case, a caller might pass
a NULL thread, which meant that Scheduler is free to select its own next
thread. In another case, a caller will pass a non-NULL thread, which
meant that the caller is simply informing the Scheduler of the next
thread to execute (i.e., which one is "currently running").
These separate functionalities are now separate functions:
Scheduler::select_next_thread()
Scheduler::set_current_thread(Thread *)

This snippet of code is important and somewhat subtle. Although we only

model: rework the release sequence fixups
It makes more sense to pull the release sequence fixups out of the main
execution loop and only perform them after all other actions are
complete.
There's still some more cleanup to be done here, but it appears that
end-of-execution release sequence fixups are functional again.

model: fix leaking "pending actions"
ModelActions that are "pending" for each thread are not automatically
freed when we rollback; we keep most of the active ModelActions on the
NodeStack, then we free them from there when we explore a new branch of
the state space.
This fix causes all the pending actions to be freed on any rollback.
This is safe for now, since we always roll back to the beginning of the
execution. If we roll back to an intermediate point, though, we need to
retain those pending actions which were also pending before the rollback
point. Hence the FIXME notice included in reset_to_initial_state().

threads: bugfix - do not call thread_current() from model-checker
thread_current() was designed for use in the user context. It is not
guaranteed to provide a reliable result in the model-checker context,
since we may perform context switches as needed, such that the "last
executed user thread" may not be the thread that we are checking at the
time.
This change is made to clear up future changes that will modify the
scheduling patterns.

threads/model: allocate Thread from w/in ModelChecker
It adds scheduling difficulties if we allocate/schedule a Thread from
the user-context (i.e., directly from the thrd_create() interface)
because then it is not necessarily atomic. For example, if we run a
thread up to its context switch for a THREAD_CREATE then switch to
another thread before the THREAD_CREATE is processed, then we will
already have constructed a Thread from the first thread (and prepared it
for scheduling) without processing it in the ModelChecker appropriately.
For instance, the following schedule might appear, causing problems:
TID ACTION
--- ------
...
1 ATOMIC_READ <--- Next action is THREAD_CREATE
(1) (construct Thread 3)
(1) (prepare new Thread for Scheduling)
2 ATOMIC_READ
3 THREAD_START <--- Before its CREATE event??
1 THREAD_CREATE
Note that this scheduling does not yet happen, as we always execute
the "lead-in" to THREAD_CREATE atomically. This may change, though.
