This adds a new scons flag --no-duplicate-sources to build without
linking source files to the build directory.
I find this very helpful when using CLion, since I can now generate a
compilation database using
`bear scons build/ALL/gem5.debug --no-duplicate-sources` and CLion will
now correctly semantically analyze all the files inside src/.
It also ensures that clicking on a build warning/error now opens the
real source file rather than a symlink.
This is not enabled by default since it's possible that certain use
cases are not working correctly, but the basic testing I've done so
far appears to work just fine.
It appears that with this change the `<root>/src` directory is no longer
added to `PYTHONPATH` when running `tests/main.py`, so this change
depends on https://gem5-review.git.corp.google.com/c/public/gem5/+/68757

These are no longer split out and shared in the root build/ directory.
This does result in a small amount of overhead from building redundant
copies of these files, although the overhead is not significant. When
building 7 different variants of gem5, all the ISAs and NULL, the
difference on my machine was:
Before:
real 41m25.372s
user 914m22.266s
sys 41m51.816s
After:
real 42m38.074s
user 921m36.852s
sys 43m2.949s
This is about a 2-3% difference, which is a worse than typical case,
since the overhead scales with the number of variants being built.
The benefit of pulling ext/ into the variant directory is that there can
now be a single config which applies to all files used to build gem5,
and that config is represented by the variant of gem5 being built.
