Describe the contribution

Adds the real cFS Scheduler (SCH) application to the reference and uses it to drive the F Prime rate groups at 1 Hz, replacing the Svc.PollingTimer.

Easy summary of the changes, layer by layer:

1. apps/sch (new, vendored) — the real nasa/SCH app (v2.2.1), ported to current cFE APIs (boolean→bool, CFE_SB_MsgPtr_t→CFE_MSG_Message_t*, CFE_SB_CMD_HDR_SIZE→sizeof(CFE_MSG_CommandHeader_t), CFE_PLATFORM_SB_HIGHEST_VALID_MSGID). Its tables are built with add_cfe_tables and loaded from /cf/.
2. SCH tables — the message table defines a new "F Prime tick" message: a cFS command with MID 0x1890 (command type bit + secondary-header flag + APID 0x090, function code 0). The schedule table sends it once per second (slot 0, frequency 1).
3. libs/fprime_cfs pin — adds CfsBridge::subscribeCfsCommand(), which subscribes to a cFS command message ID (type + sec-hdr bits) for a given APID. Upstream PR: Add CfsBridge::subscribeCfs for subscribing to cFS command or telemetry messages fprime-community/fprime_cfs#11.
4. apps/fprime_app pin — swaps Svc.PollingTimer for FPrimeCfs.SchAppDriver: the SCH tick arrives via CfsBridge → SpacePacketDeframer → CfsRouter (new CFS_COMMAND route for APID 0x090) → schAppDriver.cfsCommandIn, which emits the rate-group cycle. The main loop no longer polls a timer. Upstream PR: Drive rate groups from cFS scheduler (SCH) ticks via FPrimeCfs.SchAppDriver fprime-community/fprime_app#6. The submodule URL temporarily points at the PR fork (lestarch-autobot/fprime_app) and should be reverted to fprime-community/fprime_app once Bump fprime_cfs to latest devel (SDDs, unit tests, CI workflow) fprime-community/fprime_cfs_reference#6 is merged.
5. Reference glue — sch added to cpu1_APPLIST and the cFE startup script (priority 10).

Update (latest push): rebased onto the newly merged upstream fixes —

• libs/fprime bumped to nasa/fprime devel head (35d4c0e8).
• apps/fprime_app SchAppDriver commit rebased onto fprime-community/fprime_app devel 4032403 ("Migrate rate group configure to ContextArray interface"), so the rate-group configure now uses the ContextArray interface.

This branch builds on devin/1784790000-final-submodule-bump (submodule bump to the CfsRouter architecture), which is included in the diff.

Testing performed

1. make SIMULATION=native prep && make && make install
2. ./core-cpu1 + fprime-gds --ip-client --ip-port 15010 — SCH initializes, fprime_app subscribes to 0x1890, and one tick per second reaches the SchAppDriver.
3. pytest test/int — all 5 GDS integration tests pass (commands, events, telemetry through GDS → fprime_app).
4. Rate-group telemetry observed at ~1 Hz over GDS (ComCcsds.comQueue.comQueueDepth updates once per second; rateGroup1.RgMaxTime reported).
5. Repeated build + run + integration tests with ./go-draco draco-rc5 and ./go-draco v7.0.1 — all tests pass on both.
6. After the rebase onto the updated submodules: full rebuild + cFS run + all 5 GDS integration tests pass again. Fresh clone + git submodule update verified against the new fprime_app URL.

Expected behavior changes

• The F Prime rate group tree is now clocked by the cFS scheduler instead of a polling timer; SCH also issues the standard cFE housekeeping requests.
• No API change to the reference itself.

System(s) tested on

• Hardware: PC (x86_64)
• OS: Ubuntu 22.04 (native simulation)
• Versions: cFE main (70b8017), cFE draco-rc5, cFE v7.0.1 (with matching osal/psp/tools)

Additional context

SCH free-wheels on its 10 ms minor-frame timer (no external major frame sync), so occasional "Slots skipped" events are normal in the native sim.

Original prompt from michael.d.starch

We've just done a bunch of work on fprime-cfs-reference. Would you please edit that reference to include the sched app (not the lab, the real one). Configure it to dispatch messages at 1Hz. Then test and make sure the F Prime GDS -> fprime_app in cFS works and is reporting telemetry on the rategroup?

Then make a PR for any changes
