replay: synchronize on every virtual timer callback

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
