Thread: Update macOS thread priority calculation
The Apple threading documentation [^1] says the following: > The second argument to pthread_setschedparam is the desired policy, which can currently be one of SCHED_FIFO (first in, first out), SCHED_RR (round-robin), or SCHED_OTHER. The SCHED_OTHER policy is generally used for extra policies that are specific to a given operating system, and should thus be avoided when writing portable code. This appears to differ from the policy semantics on Linux and BSD, where FIFO and RR are both explicitly real-time policies. Therefore, on Linux/BSD we only enable the RR policy if the requested priority is 8 or higher. Meanwhile, on macOS, we map all thread priorities (0 - 10) onto the RR policy with an appropriate priority.
