cpu: Add support for protobuf input for the trace generator

This patch adds support for reading input traces encoded using
protobuf according to what is done in the CommMonitor.

A follow-up patch adds a Python script that can be used to convert the
previously used ASCII traces to protobuf equivalents. The appropriate
regression input is updated as part of this patch.
