um: add shared memory optimisation for time-travel=ext

With external time travel, a LOT of message can end up
being exchanged on the socket, taking a significant
amount of time just to do that.

Add a new shared memory optimisation to that, where a
number of changes are made:
 - the controller sends a client ID and a shared memory FD
   (and a logging FD we don't use) in the ACK message to
   the initial START
 - the shared memory holds the current time and the
   free_until value, so that there's no need to exchange
   messages for that
 - if the client that's running has shared memory support,
   any client (the running one included) can request the
   next time it wants to run inside the shared memory,
   rather than sending a message, by also updating the
   free_until value
 - when shared memory is enabled, RUN/WAIT messages no
   longer have an ACK, further cutting down on messages

Together, this can reduce the number of messages very
significantly, and reduce overall test/simulation run time.
