MINOR: task: add one extra tasklet class: TL_HEAVY

This class will be used exclusively for heavy processing tasklets. It
will be cleaner than mixing them with the bulk ones. For now it's
allocated ~1% of the CPU bandwidth.

The largest part of the patch consists in re-arranging the fields in the
task_per_thread structure to preserve a clean alignment with one more
list head. Since we're now forced to increase the struct past a second
cache line, it now uses 4 cache lines (for easy multiplying) with the
first two ones being exclusively used by local operations and the third
one mostly by atomic operations. Interestingly, this better arrangement
causes less stress and reduced the response time by 8 microseconds at
1 million requests per second.
