By default tasks run once and get destroyed. It might be useful to run them in an infinite loop (task done -> task scheduled -> ...) in order to achieve tasks interleaving (multiple tasks scheduled on the same CPU). It might be also useful to set an arbitrary value of repetitions for a given task. This commit adds simple set_task_repeat() and set_task_loop() API to allow task repetitions.
