Allows programs to update to a new libovni library without breaking the
instrumentation. Only until the first call to ovni_thread_require() the
models are enabled on demand.
Until now, emulation models were always being registered via probe(),
which causes the emulator to initialize all the channels. To reduce the
overhead, the channels were not connected or registered in the bay
until the first event of that model was received. This delayed connect
was causing issues in muxes where the newly connected model required
refreshing the touched channels. Which in turn was causing unexpected
PRV events.
By determining which models we need to enable, we can remove the delayed
connect mechanism and just enable those models at initialization time,
and connect the channels.
When running without all the subsystem events enabled in nOS-V, it is
possible to emit two consecutive VTx events, which would push twice the
same value ST_TASK_BODY into the subsystem channel. This change relaxes
the subsystem channel to accept duplicate stacked values. A regression
test is also added.

In nOS-V, when a task was paused via the VTp event, two things were
happening: 1) the task state was set to pause and 2) the subsystem state
"Task: Running" was being popped.
This causes a problem when a task calls nosv_submit() in blocking mode,
as it will call nosv_pause() which will emit a VTp event from a
subsystem different than "Task: Running".
To solve this conflict, we handle the subsystems state and the task
state separately with the VTp and VTr events. The subsystem state "Task:
Running" no longer is connected to the state of the task and only shows
if we entered the body of the task or not. It has now been renamed to
"Task: In body".
The new state "Task: In body" represents that the task body has begun
the execution and is still in the stack, but the task may be paused. The
subsystem is not changed by the VTp (pause) or VTr (resume) events.

The check_clock_gate() was trying to access to the first event in all
streams. However, streams that are empty don't have any event, so they
cause a NULL dereference. Skipping not active streams avoids the
problem.
Tests can now specify a DRIVER option pointing to a shell script that
will run instead of the default driver. It allows tests to run any
commands and run the emulator several times or with different
environment variables.
The full path of the test program is available in the OVNI_TEST_PATH
environment variable.
Improvements:
- Don't propagate values if they didn't change
- Use custom sort algorithm to speedup the sorting
- Allocate a contiguous array of channel outputs
