Function splinter_shard_claim_ex 

pub unsafe extern "C" fn splinter_shard_claim_ex(
    shard_id: u32,

@brief Advanced/testing claim: explicit pid and claimed_at.

Identical to splinter_shard_claim() but lets a supervisor register a bid on behalf of another process, and lets tests construct deterministic election scenarios without sleeping. Production shards should prefer splinter_shard_claim(). @return as splinter_shard_claim().
