core/sal: interface for backend-specific notion of time

This adds an interface for a backend-specific notion of time, e.g. CPU
cycles since simulator start, and a concrete implementation for the
Bochs backend.  This is needed to record CPU idle times (e.g., HLT
instruction), and for target backends capable of more timing-accurate
execution.

This change also modifies the tracing plugin to add the time to all
trace events.
