Peter Mitsis 4e37071f57 tests: disable timeslicing on app_kernel
Updates the app_kernel benchmark so that its default configuration
does not enable timeslicing. As it is still valuable to know what
kind of performance overhead is incurred by enabling timeslicing,
new test configurations have been added.

Title: Kernel Object Performance

Description:

The app_kernel test is used to measure the performance of the following
kernel objects: message queues, semaphores, memory slabs, mailboxes and pipes.

When the userspace version is selected (CONF_FILE=prj_user.conf), this
benchmark will execute with four configurations (kernel/kernel, kernel/user,
user/kernel and user/user). However, any configuration involving user threads
will omit both the memory slabs and mailbox tests.
