Remove multi-threaded FST tracing (#7443)

Remove parallel (using the FST library writer thread) and offloaded
(separate Verilator internal thread) tracing (only used by FST). These
are not compatible with #6992, and #5806 should yield better performance
in all cases.

Consequently mark '--trace-threads' and '--trace-fst-thread' options as
deprecated

The :vlopt:`--trace-threads` options can be used with :vlopt:`--trace-fst`
to offload FST tracing using multiple threads. If :vlopt:`--trace-threads`

imply :vlopt:`--threads 1 <--threads>`, i.e., the support libraries will be
thread safe.
With :vlopt:`--trace-threads 0 <--trace-threads>`, trace dumps are produced
on the main thread. This again gives the highest single-thread performance.
With :vlopt:`--trace-threads {N} <--trace-threads>`, where N is at least 1,
up to N additional threads will be created and managed by the trace files
(e.g., VerilatedFstC), to offload construction of the trace dump. The main
thread will be released to proceed with execution as soon as possible,
though some main thread blocking is still necessary while capturing the
trace. FST tracing can utilize up to 2 offload threads, so there is no use
of setting :vlopt:`--trace-threads` higher than 2 at the moment.
