sim: Refactor and simplify the drain API
The drain() call currently passes around a DrainManager pointer, which is now completely pointless since there is only ever one global DrainManager in the system. It also contains vestiges from the time when SimObjects had to keep track of their child objects that needed draining. This changeset moves all of the DrainState handling to the Drainable base class and changes the drain() and drainResume() calls to reflect this. Particularly, the drain() call has been updated to take no parameters (the DrainManager argument isn't needed) and return a DrainState instead of an unsigned integer (there is no point returning anything other than 0 or 1 any more). Drainable objects should return either DrainState::Draining (equivalent to returning 1 in the old system) if they need more time to drain or DrainState::Drained (equivalent to returning 0 in the old system) if they are already in a consistent state. Returning DrainState::Running is considered an error. Drain done signalling is now done through the signalDrainDone() method in the Drainable class instead of using the DrainManager directly. The new call checks if the state of the object is DrainState::Draining before notifying the drain manager. This means that it is safe to call signalDrainDone() without first checking if the simulator has requested draining. The intention here is to reduce the code needed to implement draining in simple objects.
