[PULL 07/31] replay: synchronize on every virtual timer callback

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

From: Pavel Dovgalyuk <Pavel.Dovgaluk@gmail.com>

Sometimes virtual timer callbacks depend on order
of virtual timer processing and warping of virtual clock.
Therefore every callback should be logged to make replay deterministic.
This patch creates a checkpoint before every virtual timer callback.
With these checkpoints virtual timers processing and clock warping
events order is completely deterministic.

v2:
  - remove mutex lock/unlock for virtual clock checkpoint since it is
    not process any asynchronous events (commit ca9759c2a92f528f256fef0e3922416f7bb47bf9)
  - bump record/replay log file version
