sim: add support for checkpoint downgrading

This commit supports the use case of transitioning tags and their
associated checkpoint rewrites out of use for whatever reason. Just
replace the upgrader() method with a downgrader() method that performs
the appropriate inverse operation.

The tag name is still used, but only in this negative, 'zombie' state,
as it will be removed from the tags in the checkpoint and gem5 binary.
