Statistics: Add a function to configure periodic stats dumping
This patch adds a function, periodicStatDump(long long period), which will dump and reset the statistics every period. This function is designed to be called from the python configuration scripts. This allows the periodic stats dumping to be configured more easilly at run time. The period is currently specified as a long long as there are issues passing Tick into the C++ from the python as they have conflicting definitions. If the period is less than curTick, the first occurance occurs at curTick. If the period is set to 0, then the event is descheduled and the stats are not periodically dumped. Due to issues when resumung from a checkpoint, the StatDump event must be moved forward such that it occues AFTER the current tick. As the function is called from the python, the event is scheduled before the system resumes from the checkpoint. Therefore, the event is moved using the updateEvents() function. This is called from simulate.py once the system has resumed from the checkpoint. NOTE: It should be noted that this is a fairly temporary patch which re-adds the capability to extract temporal information from the communication monitors. It should not be used at the same time as anything that relies on dumping the statistics based on in simulation events i.e. a context switch.
