The SCHED_* constants that are part of POSIX's <sched.h> are all optional:

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/sched.h.html

Python already declares the SCHED_SPORADIC constant as part of the POSIX module optionally, depending on whether it is present in C, but doesn't do this for the other SCHED_* constants.

This is problematic for CloudABI (https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2016-July/145708.html), which doesn't support any scheduler interaction at all.

Attached is a patch to only define these if present.
