Since the early days of M5, an event needed to know which event queue
it was on, and that data was required at the time of construction of
the event object. In the future parallelized M5, this sort of
requirement does not work well since the proper event queue will not
always be known at the time of construction of an event. Now, events
are created, and the EventQueue itself has the schedule function,
e.g. eventq->schedule(event, when). To simplify the syntax, I created
a class called EventManager which holds a pointer to an EventQueue and
provides the schedule interface that is a proxy for the EventQueue.
The intent is that objects that frequently schedule events can be
derived from EventManager and then they have the schedule interface.
SimObject and Port are examples of objects that will become
EventManagers. The end result is that any SimObject can just call
schedule(event, when) and it will just call that SimObject's
eventq->schedule function. Of course, some objects may have more than
one EventQueue, so this interface might not be perfect for those, but
they should be relatively few.

(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.

This should allow m5 to be more easily embedded into other simulators.
The m5 binary adds a simple main function which then calls into the m5
libarary to start the simulation. In order to make this work
correctly, it was necessary embed python code directly into the
library instead of the zipfile hack. This is because you can't just
append the zipfile to the end of a library the way you can a binary.
As a result, Python files that are part of the m5 simulator are now
compile, marshalled, compressed, and then inserted into the library's
data section with a certain symbol name. Additionally, a new Importer
was needed to allow python to get at the embedded python code.
Small additional changes include:
- Get rid of the PYTHONHOME stuff since I don't think anyone ever used
it, and it just confuses things. Easy enough to add back if I'm wrong.
- Create a few new functions that are key to initializing and running
the simulator: initSignals, initM5Python, m5Main.
The original code for creating libm5 was inspired by a patch Michael
Adler, though the code here was done by me.

Also some bug fixes in MIPS ISA uncovered by g++ warnings
(Python string compares don't work in C++!).

SimObjects not yet updated:
- Process and subclasses
- BaseCPU and subclasses
The SimObject(const std::string &name) constructor was removed. Subclasses
that still rely on that behavior must call the parent initializer as
: SimObject(makeParams(name))

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.

creation and initialization now happens in python. Parameter objects
are generated and initialized by python. The .ini file is now solely for
debugging purposes and is not used in construction of the objects in any
way.

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.

We don't currently use randomness much, so I didn't go too far, but
in the future, we may want to actually expose the random number values
themselves to python. For now, I'll at least let you seed it.
While we're at it, clean up a clearly bad way for generating random
doubles.
