scons: Hook up the savedefconfig kconfig helper.

This helper utility lets you save the defconfig which would give rise to
a given config. For instance, you could use menuconfig to set up a
config how you want it with the options you cared about configured, and
then use savedefconfig to save a defconfig of that somewhere to the
side, in the gem5 defconfig directory, etc. Then later, you could use
that defconfig to set up a new build directory with that same config,
even if the kconfig options have changed a little bit since then.

A saved defconfig like that can also be a good way to visually see what
options have been set to something interesting, and an easier way to
pass a config to someone else to use, to put in bug reports, etc.
