Subject: [PATCH] sched/ext: Add tg->scx.idle which tracks the current state

Add an idle field to the scx_task_group structure to track the current
idle state of a task group. This field is initialized to false in
scx_tg_init() and updated in scx_group_set_idle() when the idle state
changes.

This allows BPF schedulers to check the current idle state of a task
group directly from the scx_task_group structure.

v2: Add tg->scx.idle which tracks the current state
