Subject: [PATCH] prio-queue: add 'peek' operation

When consuming a priority queue, it can be convenient to inspect
the next object that will be dequeued without actually dequeueing
it. Our existing library did not have such a 'peek' operation, so
add it as prio_queue_peek().

Add a reference-level comparison in t/helper/test-prio-queue.c
so this method is exercised by t0009-prio-queue.sh. Further, add
a test that checks the behavior when the compare function is NULL
(i.e. the queue becomes a stack).
