util: make a generic checkpoint aggregator that can aggregate different cpts into one multi-programmed cpt. Make minor changes to serialization/unserialization to get it to work properly. Note that checkpoints were made with a comment at the beginning with // - this must be changed to ## to work properly with the python config parser in the aggregator.
