ext: Include SystemC 2.3.1 into gem5
In the past it happened several times that some changes in gem5 broke the
SystemC coupling. Recently Accelera has changed the licence for SystemC
from their own licence to Apache2.0, which is compatible with gem5.
However, SystemC usually relies on the Boost library, but I was able to
exchange the boost calls by c++11 alternatives. The recent SystemC version
is placed into /ext and is integrated into gem5's build system. The goal is
to integrate some SystemC tests for the CI in some following patches.
