Allow vCPUs to execute independent of dirty log iterations after initialization is complete. Hide this feature behind the new option "-j".
This change makes dirty_log_perf_test execute like real world workflows where guest vCPUs keep on executing while VMM collects dirty logs. Total pages touched during execution of test will give good estimate of how vCPUs are performing while dirty logging is enabled.
