Set the nice value of mapper process to -5
The mapper is the dbus service discovery manager which is used
pervasively in openbmc apps. During stress tests it was observed
that mapper is acting as a bottleneck and affecting BMC performance and
leading to mapper calls failing. We saw improved performance with the
mapper by bumping the priority.
