Change the definition of PMU events in order to integrate events not
cannot easily be represented by probe points. The software
increment event is now defined as a special type with its separate
implementation in pmu.cc and pmu.hh.

ARMv8.1 added a second architected event range, 0x4000-0x4040. Events
in this range are discovered using the high word of PMCEID{0,1}_EL0

Use the PyBind11 wrapping infrastructure instead of SWIG to generate
wrappers for functionality that needs to be exported to Python. This
has several benefits:
* PyBind11 can be redistributed with gem5, which means that we have
full control of the version used. This avoid a large number of
hard-to-debug SWIG issues we have seen in the past.
* PyBind11 doesn't rely on a custom C++ parser, instead it relies on
wrappers being explicitly declared in C++. The leads to slightly
more boiler-plate code in manually created wrappers, but doesn't
doesn't increase the overall code size. A big benefit is that this
avoids strange compilation errors when SWIG doesn't understand
modern language features.
* Unlike SWIG, there is no risk that the wrapper code incorporates
incorrect type casts (this has happened on numerous occasions in
the past) since these will result in compile-time errors.
As a part of this change, the mechanism to define exported methods has
been redesigned slightly. New methods can be exported either by
declaring them in the SimObject declaration and decorating them with
the cxxMethod decorator or by adding an instance of
PyBindMethod/PyBindProperty to the cxx_exports class variable. The
decorator has the added benefit of making it possible to add a
docstring and naming the method's parameters.
The new wrappers have the following known issues:
* Global events can't be memory managed correctly. This was the
case in SWIG as well.

This class implements a subset of the ARM PMU v3 specification as
described in the ARMv8 reference manual. It supports most of the
features of the PMU, however the following features are known to be
missing:
* Event filtering (e.g., from different privilege levels).
* Access controls (the PMU currently ignores the execution level).
* The chain counter (event no. 0x1E) is unimplemented.
The PMU itself does not implement any events, it merely provides an
interface for the configuration scripts to hook up probes that drive
events. Configuration scripts should call addEventProbe() to configure
custom events or high-level methods to configure architected
events. The Python implementation of addEventProbe() automatically
delays event type registration until after instantiation.
In order to support CPU switching and some combined counters (e.g.,
memory references synthesized from loads and stores), the PMU allows
multiple probes per event type. When creating a system that switches
between CPU models that share the same PMU, PMU events for all of the
CPU models can be registered with the PMU.
Kudos to Matt Horsnell for the initial gem5 implementation of the PMU.
