systemc: Make the verify.py script work when run from different dirs.

The verify.py script ran scons from the CWD, and that would fail if
there wasn't a SConstruct in that directory, ie if it wasn't from the
source of the checkout.

This change makes verify.py use scons' --directory option to run from
where the SConstruct is, or at least the SConstruct which was checked
out alongside that copy of verify.py. That location can be overridden
using the new -C or --scons-dir options.
