This patch introduces block driver that implement recording
and replaying of block devices' operations.
All block completion operations are added to the queue.
Queue is flushed at checkpoints and information about processed requests
is recorded to the log. In replay phase the queue is matched with
events read from the log. Therefore block devices requests are processed
deterministically.

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 patch adds deterministic replay for hardware periodic countdown timers.
ptimer uses bottom halves layer to execute such an asynchronous callback.
We put this callback into the replay queue instead of bottom halves one.
When checkpoint is met by main loop thread, the replay queue is processed
and callback is executed. Binding callback moment to one of the checkpoints
makes it deterministic.

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.

This mutex will protect read/write operations for replay log.
Using mutex is necessary because most of the events consist of
several fields stored in the log. The mutex will help to avoid races.
