Adds -tool as the preferred alias for the -simulator_type option for the drmemtrace/drcachesim framework. This is long overdue as many analysis tools are not "simulators" and the original option was solely to pick between cache and TLB simulators. Updates all uses in tests and documentation. Adds a release note. Changes the preferred cache and TLB simulator tool names to have _simulator suffixes. Adds a "drcachesim" alias for the cache simulator as well. Manually tested the "cache" and "drcachesim" aliases. Issue: #6660

Adds a tool file so "-t drmemtrace" can become the preferred way to launch the drmemtrace tool framework, as "drcachesim" is just one tool within the framework. Updates the documentation and tests. Renames the "drcachesim" executable to "drmemtrace_launcher". Fixes #6660

Today all drmemtrace analysis tools are launched with a front-end named "drcachesim" and with a tool selector named "-simulator_type". Those names can be misleading. We should add aliases and update the docs so the invocation changes from:
