stdlib, configs: stdlib SimPoints support and example scripts

simpoints-se-checkpoint.py & simpoints-se-restore.py:
These are two example scripts to show how to use SimPoints functions with
the stdlib.

se_binary_workload.py:
Allow se_binary_workload to take in SimPoint Class item and schedule
SimPoint exit events.

exit_event.py:
Added SIMPOINT_BEGIN and MAX_INSTS exit events.

simulator.py:
Added SIMPOINT_BEGIN and MAX_INSTS exit event scheduling functions.
They can schedule exit events before or during the simulation.

This configuation script shows an example of how to take checkpoints for
SimPoints using the gem5 stdlib. SimPoints, SimPoints interval length,
SimPoints weights, and the warmup instruction length are passed into the gem5
SimPoint module. The gem5 SimPoint module will calculate where to take
checkpoints based of the SimPoints, SimPoints interval length, and the warmup
instruction length. In SE mode, when you pass in a SimPoint object to the
set_se_binary_workload, it will schedule exit events for SimPoints in the init
stage of the core. With the Simulator module and the exit event generator,
checkpoints will be taken for the SimPoints.
This scipt builds a simple board with the gem5 stdlib with no cache and a
simple memory structure to take checkpoints. Some of the components, such as
cache hierarchy, can be changed when restoring checkpoints.

This configuation script shows an example of how to restore a checkpoint that
was taken for SimPoints in the
configs/example/gem5_library/checkpoints/simpoints-se-checkpoint.py.
The SimPoints, SimPoints interval length, and the warmup instruction length
are passed into the SimPoint module, so the SimPoint object will store and
calculate the warmup instruction length for each SimPoints based on the
avaliable instructions before reaching the start of the SimPoint. With the
Simulator module, exit event will be generated to stop when the warmup session
ends and the SimPoints interval ends.
This scipt builds a more complex board than the board used for taking
checkpoint.
