Move SimObject creation and Port connection loops

into Python.
Add Port and VectorPort objects and support for
specifying port connections via assignment.
The whole C++ ConfigNode hierarchy is gone now, as are
C++ Connector objects.

configs/test/fs.py:
configs/test/test.py:
    Rewrite for new port connector syntax.
src/SConscript:
    Remove unneeded files:
    - mem/connector.*
    - sim/config*
src/dev/io_device.hh:
src/mem/bridge.cc:
src/mem/bridge.hh:
src/mem/bus.cc:
src/mem/bus.hh:
src/mem/mem_object.hh:
src/mem/physical.cc:
src/mem/physical.hh:
    Allow getPort() to take an optional index to
    support vector ports (eventually).
src/python/m5/__init__.py:
    Move SimObject construction and port connection
    operations into Python (with C++ calls).
src/python/m5/config.py:
    Move SimObject construction and port connection
    operations into Python (with C++ calls).
    Add support for declaring and connecting MemObject
    ports in Python.
src/python/m5/objects/Bus.py:
src/python/m5/objects/PhysicalMemory.py:
    Add port declaration.
src/sim/builder.cc:
src/sim/builder.hh:
src/sim/serialize.cc:
src/sim/serialize.hh:
    ConfigNodes are gone; builder just gets the
    name of a .ini file section now.
src/sim/main.cc:
    Move SimObject construction and port connection
    operations into Python (with C++ calls).
    Split remaining initialization operations into two parts,
    loadIniFile() and finalInit().
src/sim/param.cc:
src/sim/param.hh:
    SimObject resolution done globally in Python now
    (not via ConfigNode hierarchy).
src/sim/sim_object.cc:
    Remove unneeded #include.
