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 patch includes modifications of common cpu files. All interrupts and
exceptions occured during recording are written into the replay log.
These events allow correct replaying the execution by kicking cpu thread
when one of these events is found in the log.
