This pull request fixes a corner case in which the receiver-side rr is not able to capture and reproduce message orderings accurately.
The problem can occur when the following conditions are met:
Under the old replay, both messages would have the same sender/receiver promise message tuple in the trace. Hence we do not capture wether M1 or M2 is processed first.
The new solution sequentially numbers all promise messages sent by an actor, and records that number in place of the id of the resolver. replay executions automatically generate the same message numbers. In combination with the sender, this allows us to uniquely identify the promise messages and accurately reorder them.
Promise resolver tracking was removed from tracing promises.
The messageId field from Kompos tracing was reused to store message numbers.
