TODO: Showing timing or extended trace information should be configurable
with a commandline switch later.

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.

When eCos is built as a multiboot binary, some of its data structures
are still at very low (<<1M) addresses, but the rest moves to
addresses >1M. This change makes sure our invalid mem access
detection is not overly generous.

This allows the commandline parameter parser to modify argc, as it finds
arguments for the Fail* client. Additionally argv is correctly null
terminated when removing arguments.
This fixes a bug introduced in eb17e9ef82.

This allows us to generate prerequisites (traces, state snapshots, memory
maps) in parallel, and without the previous shell script hacks.

Without --with-all-libs (as documented in doc/how-to-build.txt), at least
the "nogui" GUI does not work anymore -- the default for headless
experiments.
(Note the UNDEFINED->UNDEF enum rename; this was necessary due to a vga.h
include side-effect in bochs/gui/svga.cc.)

It doesn't make sense to override database, hostname or username parameters
coming from ~/.my.cnf with arbitrary own defaults. Instead allow
libmysqlclient to use the builtin default parameter mechanism.
See <https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/option-files.html> for what a
~/.my.cnf may look like; example:
[client]
user=hsc
password=secret42
database=fail_demo

Imported and adapted FindProtobuf.cmake from cmake 2.8.9 into the project to
make it build on Debian 6 again.

An experiment talking to a campaign server via the JobClient/JobServer
interface needs the FailControlMessage.proto compiler to run before the
experiment is compiled. A dependency on fail-comm ensures this.
If CommandLine.hpp and (indirectly) optionparser.h is #included in
FailBochsInit.ah, bochs compilation fails (for, e.g., gui/x.cc, at least
on Debian 6).
When we want to use a bounded job queue, job producer and job consumer must
run in different threads in order not to deadlock the campaign. Ideally
this functionality moves to the CampaignManager later (including the
retrieval of existing experiment results and storing new results).

Synchronize re-sending jobs in sendPendingExperimentData() and modifying
(or indirectly, via getDone() and the campaign, deleting) jobs in the
m_runningJobs queue.
a) sendPendingExperimentData needs an intact job to serialize and send it.
b) After moving the job to m_doneJobs, it may be retrieved and deleted
by the campaign at any time.
Additionally, receiving a result overwrites the job's contents. This
already may cause breakage in sendPendingExperimentData (a).

This modification creates and uses multiple intermediate snapshot states
(one every 1,000,000 instructions) to fast-forward to the FI site.
Unfortunately this doesn't work yet; the trace seems to change in many (not
all!) cases we do this. One possible cause could be an incorrect
(off-by-one or alike?) restoration of the serial device timers, and
therefore an earlier/later transition to "output buffer empty", resulting
in eCos' serial putc function needing a different amount of polling loop
iterations. Needs more investigation.

For the eCos kernel test campaign we define a relatively "special" metric
to compare FI results from different applications: Instead of aligning
the fault-space dimensions (e.g., by artificially adding "don't care" space
to the right for shorter application variants), we only keep the data
address axis constant. The rationale behind this is that -- despite the
benchmark applications' run-to-completion behavior -- an operating system's
scheduler usually runs ad infinitum, and that we therefore can extrapolate
from a short application run to any longer period.
In essence, this means we use a failure/experiment-length quotient (ignoring
the Y axis for simplicity, as it is constant in size) to compare
application variants, instead of an absolute failure count. One important
side effect is that we do not punish any application slowdown with this
metric. (And simply prolongating non-susceptible program sections with,
e.g., NOPs, seemingly "improves" fault tolerance.)

As we have a global CampaignManager instance in the fail-cpn library, a
JobServer member variable is not such a good idea. Essentially, we started
all JobServer threads (which is done in its constructor) within a
fail-client before this commit.

Over a few indirections, this broke Bochs' 16550 UART simulation after
transferring a few hundreds of bytes. The UART uses internal timers to
simulate the configured baud rate; these timers cease to work after
repeated misuse from the Fail/Bochs bridge.

This allows single-stepping through REP/REPZ/REPNZ iterations. We mainly
need this for a little more realistic timing model when, e.g., copying
large memory areas with REP MOVSB.
Be aware that memory-access tracing only works reliably for REPxx-prefixed
instructions if Bochs was configured with --disable-repeat-speedups, as
this Bochs optimization completely circumvents the usual memory access
paths.

As we don't know what happens after the "right margin" of the specified
fault space (specified by trace length, or an explicit instruction limit),
we need to do one FI experiment for every register/bit in the end.

This commit *introduced* a segfault to the nanojpeg experiment. Indeed there is
no point in clearing m_FireList here:
1. Multiple active listeners match an event coming from the simulator. These
listeners are moved from their queue to m_FireList.
2. In a loop iterating over m_FireList, one of the listeners is triggered
(ListenerManager::triggerActiveListeners()). Context switches to an
experiment. The experiment explicitly (or implicitly, e.g., by terminating)
calls simulator.clearListeners().
3. ListenerManager::remove() clears all active (but not currently fired, or
about to be fired) listeners from the main listener queue (and additionally
all type-specific special containers). To prevent the "about to be fired"
listeners to fire, they are copied to m_DeleteList.
4. The loop mentioned in 2. does not trigger any listener mentioned in
m_DeleteList. Afterwards, m_FireList (and m_DeleteList) is cleared.
Clearing m_FireList in step 3 invalidates the iterator used in the loop from
steps 2 and 4. In fact, this problem was the reason we introduced the
m_DeleteList workaround in the first place.
This reverts commit r1817.
