Make sure cpu/static_inst_exec_sigs.hh get rebuilt when

CPU_MODELS parameter changes.

arch/SConscript:
    Fix typo in comment.
cpu/SConscript:
    Convert exec signature generator to Action so we can add dependency
    on CPU_MODELS environment var.
    Print nicer string while we're at it.
    Also add some comments.
