This change allows to use the generic-tracing experiment with a
manually specified start/stop address. This is necessary to use it
with more complex systems that aren't booted from a single ELF file,
such as Fiasco.OC.

CMake does not support linker groups, which were used to "automatically"
fix circular dependencies between different static FAIL* libraries and
the ordering of dynamic external libraries broke linking.
CMake can however correctly invoke the linker if dependencies are decribed
correctly (even if circular). This required changing all add_dependencies
calls between libraries to target_link_libraries (which creates a link-time
dependency) and linking all experiments to fail-sal.

At least for the Bochs backend there might be side effects when saving
the simulator state while tracing, which therefore should be avoided.
As there is no known use-case for using a --save-symbol different to
--start-symbol, this change disables the semantics behind
--save-symbol completely and only keeps the command-line switch for
backward compatibility reasons (existing automatic test scripts etc.).
The generic-tracing experiment now complains and aborts if a
--save-symbol different to --start-symbol is given.

This reverts commit 036e340bd9.
Problems with this one were:
- Broken event timings. m_prevtime wasn't reset to m_curtime in
TracingPlugin::handleSingleIP(), resulting in a large deltatime
being recorded for the second event, too. This effectively
doubled the experiment's start time.
- Code repetition (copy/pasted for special handling of first event),
making planned changes (advanced tracing for IP events) more
difficult.
- Unnecessary additional tracing-plugin interface method.

When using the generic-tracing experiment for generating a trace, the
first event, after the tracing is started (the start-symbol) is lost
in the trace. This patch handles this special case seperately.

This change touches several subsystems, tools and experiments
(sal, util, cmake, import-trace, generic-tracing, nanojpeg), and
changes details not worth separate commits.

The full-tracing plugin was used in the DSN paper. It additionally
traces the data that was accessed/written on a memory access and the
contents of some CPU registers.
