The 'components_library' name was always a placeholder. A more accurate
name would be the 'gem5 library'. This is analogous to standard
libraries shipped as part of programming languages. Over time this will
begin to incorporate more commonly used code at the Python configuration
script level. Most of the former 'components_library' is now in
'gem5.components'.

There has been some debate on how best to distribute the components
library. This change builds the components library into the gem5 binary.
The components library will now function similar to the `m5` library.
There is no need for awkward imports or obtaining the library from some
third-party source.
Additional incorporated in this patch:
* Added `__init__.py` to the Python modules.
* Fixed a typo in the `abstract_ruby_cache_hierarchy.py` filename.
* Ensured that imports within the library are relative.
