Thanks to swig this was interfering with the standard Python
random module. The only function in that module was seed(),
which erroneously called srand48(). Moved the function to
m5.internal.core, renamed it seedRandom(), and made it call
random_mt.init() instead.

This step makes it easy to replace the accessor functions
(which still access a global variable) with ones that access
per-thread curTick values.

It doesn't appear to be necessary and it is somewhat odd. I'm pretty
sure that the package parameter to %module does whatever this might
have been before. It's necessary in future revisions anyway.

Replace direct call to unserialize() on each SimObject with a pair of
calls for better control over initialization in both ckpt and non-ckpt
cases.
If restoring from a checkpoint, loadState(ckpt) is called on each
SimObject. The default implementation simply calls unserialize() if
there is a corresponding checkpoint section, so we get backward
compatibility for existing objects. However, objects can override
loadState() to get other behaviors, e.g., doing other programmed
initializations after unserialize(), or complaining if no checkpoint
section is found. (Note that the default warning for a missing
checkpoint section is now gone.)
If not restoring from a checkpoint, we call the new initState() method
on each SimObject instead. This provides a hook for state
initializations that are only required when *not* restoring from a
checkpoint.
Given this new framework, do some cleanup of LiveProcess subclasses
and X86System, which were (in some cases) emulating initState()
behavior in startup via a local flag or (in other cases) erroneously
doing initializations in startup() that clobbered state loaded earlier
by unserialize().

There used to be a reason to have StartupCallback
be a separate object, but not any more. Now
it's just confusing.

The major thrust of this change is to limit the amount of code
duplication surrounding the code for these functions. This code also
adds two new message types called info and hack. Info is meant to be
less harsh than warn so people don't get confused and start thinking
that the simulator is broken. Hack is a way for people to add runtime
messages indicating that the simulator just executed a code "hack"
that should probably be fixed. The benefit of knowing about these
code hacks is that it will let people know what sorts of inaccuracies
or potential bugs might be entering their experiments. Finally, I've
added some flags to turn on and off these message types so command
line options can change them.

(except for warn()) and new -r/-e options make it
not worth fixing.

When invoking several copies of m5 on the same machine at the same
time, there can be a race for TCP ports for the terminal connections
or remote gdb. Expose a function to disable those ports, and have the
regression scripts disable them. There are some SimObjects that have
no other function than to be used with ports (NativeTrace and
EtherTap), so they will panic if the ports are disabled.

Add support for declaring SimObjects to swig so their members can be wrapped.
Make sim_object.i only contain declarations for SimObject.
Create system.i to contain declarations for System.
Update python code to properly call the C++ given the new changes.

directly configured by python. Move stuff from root.(cc|hh) to
core.(cc|hh) since it really belogs there now.
In the process, simplify how ticks are used in the python code.

so things are organized in a more sensible manner. Take apart
finalInit and expose the individual functions which are now
called from python. Make checkpointing a bit easier to use.
