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.

+//                    implementation and not part of the core TLM standard
+//
+
+
+// This implements a lean and fast array class that supports array expansion on
+// request. The class is primarily used in the tlm_generic_payload class for
+// storing the pointers to the extensions.
+//
+// Individual array elements can be accessed through the [] operators, and the
+// array length is returned by the size() method.
+//
+// The size can be dynamically expanded using the expand(uint) method. There
+// is no shrinking mechanism implemented, because the extension mechanism
+// does not require this feature. Bear in mind that calling the expand method
+// may invalidate all direct pointers into the array.
