stdlib: add SimPoint checkpoint generator

The previous SimPoint warmup length was limited by the gaps between
the starting instruction of one SimPoint and the ending instruction of
the SimPoint before it. This was to prevent duplicate SimPoints, but it
can significantly limit the warmup length.
In this commit, the warmup length limitation will be extended to the
starting instruction of one SimPoint regardless of the gap between
SimPoints.
A SimPoint checkpoint generator is created to help taking checkpoints
for SimPoints and make sure multiple SimPoint checkpoints are taken
when there are multiple SimPoints sharing the same starting instruction
