simulator: Introduce SimulationCoroutineDispatcher
This change introduces the SimulationCoroutineDispatcher implementation
which replaces the TestCoroutineDispatcher for running single-threaded
simulations.
Previously, we used the TestCoroutineDispatcher from the
kotlinx-coroutines-test modules for running simulations. However, this
module is aimed at coroutine tests and not at simulations.
In particular, having to construct a Clock object each time for the
TestCoroutineDispatcher caused a lot of unnecessary lines. With the new
approach, the SimulationCoroutineDispatcher automatically exposes a
usable Clock object.
In addition to ergonomic benefits, the SimulationCoroutineDispatcher is
much faster than the TestCoroutineDispatcher due to the assumption that
simulations run in only a single thread. As a result, the dispatcher
does not need to perform synchronization and can use the fast
PriorityQueue implementation.
