add in checkpoint restoration option, you can restore a checkpoint by giving a directory, and then giving a checkpoint number, the earliest checkpoint is 1, the latest is N. the default checkpoint directory is the cwd.

so you can restore by a command line like this:

m5.opt fs.py --checkpoint_dir="/my/ckpt/dir" -c 3
