sim: added option to serialize SimLoopExitEvent

SimLoopExitEvents weren't serialized by default. Some benchmarks
utilize a delayed m5 exit pseudo op call to terminate the simulation
and this event was lost when resuming from a checkpoint generated
after the pseudo op call. This patch adds the capability to serialize
the SimLoopExitEvents and enable serialization for m5_exit and m5_fail
pseudo ops by default. Does not affect other generic
SimLoopExitEvents.
