util: implements "writefile" gem5 op to export file from guest to host filesystem

Usage: m5 writefile <filename>

File will be created in the gem5 output folder with the identical filename.
Implementation is largely based on the existing "readfile" functionality.
Currently does not support exporting of folders.
