Radhika Jagtap 9bd5051b60 config: Enable elastic trace capture and replay in se/fs
This patch adds changes to the configuration scripts to support elastic
tracing and replay.

The patch adds a command line option to enable elastic tracing in SE mode
and FS mode. When enabled the Elastic Trace cpu probe is attached to O3CPU
and a few O3 CPU parameters are tuned. The Elastic Trace probe writes out
both instruction fetch and data dependency traces. The patch also enables
configuring the TraceCPU to replay traces using the SE and FS script.

The replay run is designed to resume from checkpoint using atomic cpu to
restore state keeping it consistent with FS run flow. It then switches to
TraceCPU to replay the input traces.
