Without setting the correct memory mode the SimpleSwitchableProcessor,
the Minor CPU could not be used as a valid core. This patch corrects
this issue by setting the memory mode to TIMING for Minor CPU cores.
Due to the increasingly complex if-else to determine the memory mode, a
function has been added to CPUTypes to determine what MemMode is
required for each CPUType.

The `set_se_binary_workload` function was only setting up the binary to
work on one (the first) processor core. This caused an exception to be
thrown when trying to run an SE mode binary on a multicore system.
Tests have been added to ensure this works as intended.
Note: While this implementation fixes the bugs, it is limited. Future
work is needed to allow for multiprogram workloads.

Currently, when using the switchable processor the first N cores are the
starting cores and the next N cores (e.g., board.processor.core<N+1>)
are the switched in cores. This is confusing when looking at the stats.
This change makes it so that the names of the different processor lists
used in the dictionary when constructing the switchable processor are
used in for the member names as well. This will allow users to have
names like board.processor.ff_cores and board.processor.detailed_cores.
A bit of refactoring of the base processor was required for this.

This patch does two things:
1. Ensures that both the 'pre-commit' and 'commit-msg' hooks are
installed. The `pre-commit install` by itself will only install the
'pre-commit' hooks. This expanded instlal command will also install
the 'commit-msg' hook.
2. How to run pre-commit to automatically format your code.

The gem5 commit msg checker must be run during the 'commit-msg'
stage ergo this is explicitly set. The other hooks are only applicable
to the "commit" stage, the `default_stage` for the hooks.
To install all the hooks, you need to run the following:
```
pre-commit install -t pre-commit -t commit-msg
```
This ensures both the 'commit-msg' and 'pre-commit' hooks are installed.
If you run just `pre-commit install`, only the pre-commit hooks are
installed.

Glibc requires x86-64-v2 ISA level on newer Linux distributions (e.g.
Debian Bookworm), and running applications in GEM5 will fail with "CPU
ISA level is lower than required" error. It is due to glibc not
detecting CPU features when the vendor string is unknown yet requiring
them to run. For glibc to detect correct CPU features, this commit adds
a command line option to allow user to override x86 cpu vendor string to
well-known ones, e.g. GenuineIntel. It allows glibc to detect more cpu
features and fixes the issue.

The current MI_example protocol's L1 caches updates the MRU information twice per request on misses -- once when the request reaches Ruby and once when the miss is returned from another level of the memory hierarchy.
Although this approach does not cause any correctness bugs for replacement policies like LRU since this request is the LRU in both cases, it does not work correctly for other policies like SecondChance and LFU, where updating the information twice (for misses) causes them to devolve to LRU.
Note that this was not directly a problem with Ruby previously, because it only supported LRU-based policies that were unaffected by this. However, with the integration of 20879 Ruby now uses the same replacement policies as Classic (which has additional, non-LRU based replacement policies).
This patch resolves this problem by not updating the MRU information a second time for the misses. It has been tested and validated with the replacement policy tests in 20880.

BasicDecode, or decode block templates in general, contains the template
for substituting the return statement returning a StaticInst given a
machine code.
In the case of micro-coding an instruction, this return statement is for
the macro op. Additionally, in gem5 riscv, the spawned micro-ops will be
added in the macro op constructor, which is done in the macro-op
constructor template. Thus, there's no need for having a return statement
for the micro-op.
Currently, there are two return statements in decode-method.cc.inc for
each riscv atomic inst. This change removes one of the two BasicDecode
blocks in atomic inst templates.
This change is expected to a cosmetic change.

The BaseCPUProcessor is processor containing BaseCPUCores. This gives
gem5 stdlib users a way to create processors containing BaseCPU
SimObjects. While SimpleProcessor does this by-proxy (the user simply
specifies the desires CPUType and ISA and the correct BaseCPU
instantiation is chosen), this new Processor allows a more raw passing
of BaseCPU objects.
The SimpleProcessor now inherrits from this BaseCPUProcessor to avoid
duplcation of functionality. A refactor to achieve this was moving the
setting of the board's memory mode from the SimpleProcessor's
"incorporate_processor" function to the BaseCPUProcessor's then altering
it to determine MemMode based on BaseCPU subclass rather than the
CPUType.
The tests/gem5/configs/simple_binary_run.py test script has been
extended to create an stdlib run with a BaseCPUProcessor instead of the
SimpleProcessor and tests have been included to ensure the
BaseCPUProcessor functions as intended.
Multiple cores comprising of different BaseCPU types has not been tested
and is not officially supported as of this commit.

This separates the idea of a SimpleCore and a BaseCPUCore. A SimpleCore
selects the correct BaseCPU subclass based on user-specified CPUTypes
and target ISA. The new BaseCPUCore type simply wraps any BaseCPU core
for usage in the stdlib.
Much of the code previously handled in SimpleCore has been moved to
BaseCPUCore.
The `cpu_simobject_factory` method has been moved from AbstractCore to
SimpleCore; a more logical location for this function.
