systemc: Make sc_main run in its own fiber.

The fiber will run until either sc_main returns, or until sc_start is
called. If sc_start is called, then the fiber will only be paused and
waiting for simulation cycles to be run by gem5. Once sc_pause and
sc_stop are implemented, if those are called the sc_main fiber will
be re-entered and allowed to run further towards completion.
