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.

The DatabaseCampaign interacts with the MySQL tables that are created
by the import-trace and prune-trace tools. It does offer all
unfinished experiment pilots from the database to the
fail-clients. Those clients send back a (by the experiment) defined
protobuf message as a result. The custom protobuf message does have to
need the form:
import "DatabaseCampaignMessage.proto";
message ExperimentMsg {
required DatabaseCampaignMessage fsppilot = 1;
repeated group Result = 2 {
// custom fields
required int32 bitoffset = 1;
optional int32 result = 2;
}
}
The DatabaseCampaignMessage is the pilot identifier from the
database. For each of the repeated result entries a row in a table is
allocated. The structure of this table is constructed (by protobuf
reflection) from the description of the message. Each field in the
Result group becomes a column in the result table. For the given
example it would be:
CREATE TABLE result_ExperimentMessage(
pilot_id INT,
bitoffset INT NOT NULL,
result INT,
PRIMARY_KEY(pilot_id)
)
