Recent breaking changes in the DRAMSys API require user code to be
updated. These updates have been applied to the gem5 integration.
Furthermore, as DRAMSys started to use CMake dependency management,
it is no longer sensible to maintain two separate build systems for
DRAMSys. The use of the DRAMSys integration in gem5 will therefore
from now on require that CMake is installed on the target machine.
Additionally, support for snapshots have been implemented into DRAMSys
and coupled with gem5's checkpointing API.

This is done periodically as the Github Action's infrastructure reads
files from the repos main branch (`stable`) where as changes are made to
`develop`'s ".github" which should be made live ASAP.
This does not affect the gem5 build or any configuration scripts, only
how testing is performed via GitHub and other info used by Github (e.g.,
".github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE" which outlines the templates for creating
issues via our GitHub issues page.
This merges cherry-picked changes from the develop branch which are
suitable to be part of the v23.0.1.0 minor release. In general this
includes bug fixes, documentation updates, and changes that extend gem5
but do not alter and functionality a gem5 user may be depending on.
This change syncs the repo's contributing documentation with that of the
website's contributing documentation:
https://www.gem5.org/contributing
From now on we'll attempt to keep the repo's CONTRIBUTING.md
documentation in sync with that on the website.

This change:
1. Removes the 'Specifying a subset of tests to run' section. This
section is no longer useful since tests are no longer divided up so
neatly by tags as they once were.
2. Adds a section outlining the 'quick', 'long' and 'very-long' tests
and how they may be selected and run.

This is a simple copy of the current state of the .github on the develop
branch, as of 2023-07-27. The stable branch .github dir should never be
ahead of that on develop. Therefore this should be safe to do.

In https://gem5-review.googlesource.com/c/public/gem5/+/52047 inst.pc
was changed from an object to a pointer. It is possible that this
pointer is null (e.g., if there is an interrupt and there is a bubble).
Make sure to check that it's not null before printing.
I believe that other places this pointer is dereferenced without an
explicit null check are safe, but I'm not certain.

In the previous version of gem5, the source files of extra directories
will copy to build directory for compilation. It will not be a problem
if the extra directories include *.h(*.hh) from the other extra
directories.
After the patch applied from the change
(https://gem5-review.googlesource.com/c/public/gem5/+/68758). The
source files of extra directories will not copy to the build directory
unless the user compiles gem5 with "--duplicate-sources". It will
cause the compilation error if the code includes a header file from
other repositories.
For example, assume we want to compile gem5 with "foo/bar1" and
"foo/bar2" repositories and they are gem5-independent. There are some
header files in "foo/bar1/a.h" "foo/bar1/b.h" and "foo/bar2/d.h". If
the code "foo/bar1/sample.c" tries to include the file "foo/bar2/d.h".
They usually include the file by declare "#include bar2/d.h" in
foo/bar1/sample.c. It can work if --duplicate-sources is specified in
gem5 build because they will copy to <builddir>/bar1 and
<builddir>/bar2 respectively, and -I<builddir> is specified by default
whether duplicate_sources or not. It will raise the compilation error
if the user does not specify it.
The change is aimed to let the situation work without
duplicate-sources specified by adding parent extra directory, and
adding them before the extra directories. If the --duplicate-sources
specified, it will not add parent extra directories to avoid repeat
include paths.

FEAT_TLBIOS has been introduced by a recent patch [1] which
was however missing to include the outer shareable case in the
Msr disambiguation switch. Which meant the TLBIOS instructions
were decoded as normal MSR instructions, with no effect whatsoever
on the TLBs
