rcuscale: Add guest_os_delay module parameter

This commit adds a guest_os_delay module parameter that extends warm-up
and cool-down the specified number of seconds before and after the series
of test runs.  This allows the data-collection intervals from any given
rcuscale guest OSes to line up with active periods in the other rcuscale
guest OSes, and also allows the thermal warm-up period required to obtain
consistent results from one test to the next.
