gem_wsim: Engine map load balance command
A new workload command for enabling a load balanced context map (aka
Virtual Engine). Example usage:
B.1
This turns on load balancing for context one, assuming it has already been
configured with an engine map. Only DEFAULT engine specifier can be used
with load balanced engine maps.
v2:
* Lift restriction to only use load balancer when enabled in context map.
