DEBUG: cli: add "debug dev task" to show/wake/expire/kill tasks and tasklets
When analyzing certain types of bugs in field, sometimes it would be
nice to be able to wake up a task or tasklet to see how events progress
(e.g. to detect a missing wakeup condition), or expire or kill such a
task. This restricted command shows hte current state of a task or tasklet
and allows to manipulate it like this. However it must be used with extreme
care because while it does verify that the pointers are mapped, it cannot
know if they point to a real task, and performing such actions on something
not a task will easily lead to a crash. In addition, performing a "kill"
on a task has great chances of provoking a deferred crash due to a double
free and/or another kill that is not idempotent. Use with extreme care!
