scons: Create a Gem5 subclass of the Executable class.

The Executable class was used both for the generic gem5 target, and as a
base for the GTest binaries, the systemc test binaries, etc.

Unfortunately, the gem5 binary needs to include src/base/date.cc, and to
ensure that that file is up to date, it needs to depend on all the other
object files. No other binary should have that, but it was included by
inheritance.

Also, depending on the object file works well when those object files
and the date.cc object file are all part of the same binary and not
mixed and matched. That is not true for the GTest binaries for instance,
and so building a unit test would also build all the other unit test
object files because they are dependencies for date.to, date.tdo, etc.
If they already exist, then they would satisfy the dependency and not be
rebuilt.
