[PATCH v1 22/22] plugins: move reset of plugin data to tb_start

[Alex Bennée]

We can't always guarantee we get to the end of a translator loop.
Although this can happen for a variety of reasons it does happen more
often on x86 system emulation when an instruction spans across to an
un-faulted page. This caused confusion of the instruction tracking
data resulting in apparent reverse execution (at least from the
plugins point of view).

Fix this by moving the reset code to plugin_gen_tb_start so we always
start with a clean slate.
