cpu: Support exit when any one Trace CPU completes replay

This change adds a Trace CPU param to exit simulation early,
i.e. when the first (any one) trace execution is complete. With
this change the user gets a choice to configure exit as either
when the last CPU finishes (default) or first CPU finishes
replay. Configuring an early exit enables simulating and
measuring stats strictly when memory-system resources are being
stressed by all Trace CPUs.
