This patch implements record and replay of character devices.
It records chardevs communication in replay mode. Recorded information
include data read from backend and counter of bytes written
from frontend to backend to preserve frontend internal state.
If character device was configured through the command line in record mode,
then in replay mode it should be also added to command line. Backend of
the character device could be changed in replay mode.
Replaying of devices that perform ioctl and get_msgfd operations is not
supported.
gdbstub which also acts as a backend is not recorded to allow controlling
the replaying through gdb. Monitor backends are also not recorded.

This records user input (keyboard and mouse events) in record mode and replays
these input events in replay mode.

Clock ticks are considered as the sources of non-deterministic data for
virtual machine. This patch implements saving the clock values when they
are acquired (virtual, host clock).
When replaying the execution corresponding values are read from log and
transfered to the module, which wants to read the values.
Such a design required the clock polling to be synchronized. Sometimes
it is not true - e.g. when timeouts for timer lists are checked. In this case
we use a cached value of the clock, passing it to the client code.

This patch adds module for saving and replaying asynchronous events.
These events include network packets, keyboard and mouse input,
USB packets, thread pool and bottom halves callbacks.
All events are stored in the queue to be processed at synchronization points
such as beginning of TB execution, or checkpoint in the iothread.
