When calling a method in a superclass, you can/should use the super()
method to get a reference to that class. The python 2 version of that
method takes two parameters, the current class name, and the "self"
instance. The python 3 version takes no arguments. This is better for a
at least three reasons.
First, this version is less verbose because you don't have to specify
any arguments.
Second, you don't have to remember which argument goes where (I always
have to look it up), and you can't accidentally use the wrong class
name, or forget to update it if you copy code from a different class.
Third, this version will work correctly if you use a class decorator.
I don't know exactly how the mechanics of this work, but it is referred
to in a comment on this stackoverflow question:

SCons does not use a variable called LDFLAGS, it uses one called
LINKFLAGS. Switch some errant uses to the correct name.
Also, adjust all the other variable names to use LINK, for consistency
and to avoid confusion and avoid mistakes in the future.

When an object is a field in a union, it's the programmer's
resposibility to destroy it from the union's destructor. We can simply
neglect to do that and avoid having to use new to create the flags.
Also, we can define the flags as inline variables (a c++17 feature), and
then create a constexpr references to them. This lets us refer to debug
flags in constexpr objects, although we can't interact with them at, for
instance, construciton time or we'd lose our own constexpr-ness since
the actual object is not constexpr.
In c++20 we would hypothetically be able to use constexpr with new and
delete, but there may be additional restrictions that would make this
particular use impossible. Also this avoids leaking memory, which, even
though it's intentional, may confuse tools like valgrind.
Also, we need to ensure that all headers are included in some source
file so that they exist in the final executable, so that they show up in
the help, can be enabled/disabled, etc.

The code which generated SimObject related param wrappers, cxx wrappers,
enum headers, etc was organized strangely. All the functions which
were used as SCons Actions were listed next to each other, and then all
the code which would set up each of those types of files and actually
use the Actions were next to each other.
This change rearranges that code so that the Action function is
immediately before the code which applies it. Or in other words, this
section of the SConscript is now grouped by the files being created,
rather than the type of the piece of machinery being defined to do that.

The Executable class was used both for the generic gem5 target, and as a
base for the GTest binaries, the systemc test binaries, etc.
Unfortunately, the gem5 binary needs to include src/base/date.cc, and to
ensure that that file is up to date, it needs to depend on all the other
object files. No other binary should have that, but it was included by
inheritance.
Also, depending on the object file works well when those object files
and the date.cc object file are all part of the same binary and not
mixed and matched. That is not true for the GTest binaries for instance,
and so building a unit test would also build all the other unit test
object files because they are dependencies for date.to, date.tdo, etc.
If they already exist, then they would satisfy the dependency and not be
rebuilt.

It's really a part of the build system and not part of gem5, and so it
should probably live outside of the main tree. It would be confusing to
have a bunch of python scripts which don't end up inside gem5 alongside
a bunch of ones that do in src/python.
The directory is called build_tools instead of build so it doesn't get
confused with an actual build output directory.

The new c++ wrapper is called gem5py, and will run any python script
using gem5's embedded python interpreter. The "marshal" functionality is
split out into a separate python script gem5py can run.
The command line for gem5py should look like this:
gem5py ${SCRIPT TO RUN} ${ARGS TO THE SCRIPT}
So, for instance, to marshal a file called foo.py, the command line
might look like this:
gem5py python/marshal.py foo.py
Also, this change reorders the sources for the python embedding action
and limits the max_sources for Transform() to 1, so that it just shows
the python file being embedded and not gem5py or the marshal.py script.
Those are still sources so dependency tracking works correctly, but they
are also implied and just add visual noise to the build output.

We were simply not declaring the source files for PySource files if
built --without-python. Instead, we should declare them, but then
explicitly exclude them if that option is set.
Since we're already doing that, we can simply remove the check from the
PySource constructor.

The compileDate and gem5Version fields are used in only one place,
gem5's python main function. These fields are the remaining difference
between the "fake" defines.py provided by the SimObject importer, and
the real one composed later. It makes sense to exclude them in the
"fake" version since those values come from c++, but it would feel like
an arbitrary and unexpected difference to people trying to use it.

This had been done by prepending the letter "t" to the suffix, with the
intention of turning a suffix like ".o" to ".to". Unfortunately SCons
stores both the actual suffix and the "." in that variable, so what we
ended up with was ".o" => "t.o", so test.o would become testt.o.
This change updates that logic to prepend a ".t" in front of the
existing suffix, skipping over it's first character which is assumed to
be a ".".

Create an AllFlagsFlag class which inherits from the CompoundFlag class.
This class is a singleton, and the SimpleFlags install themselves in it
instead of having SCons collect them.
The allFlagsVersion global variable was supposed to be for debugging
according to a comment, but was actually an important part of the "All"
flags inner workings. It was not exposed in the header, but was
redefined/pulled through in src/python/pybind11/debug.cc. The
AllFlagsFlag class now tracks that value, and it can be accessed without
reaching behind the curtain.
This also somewhat decentralizes the debug flag building process in
SCons. The debug/flags.cc still includes all flags at once which
centralizes them, but at least now the "All" flag won't also.

Don't cache the first version requested of object files to use for
subsequent requests. This was originally put in place to avoid an error
when object files could be built with trivially different command lines,
ie command lines which are technically different but not in a
necessarily meaningful way, or less seriously a warning when the command
lines were the same.
The warning was disabled in an earlier change, and the error was avoided
by using a different object file suffix when building unit tests.
This helps avoid bugs if the object files actually *would* turn out to
be different in a meaningful way based on the flags used, and simplifies
the build.

blobToCpp is called in two places, one which uses all its functionality,
and one which disables most of it. Instead, factor out the small core so
that it can be called directly by the call sight which uses only that
part, and blobToCpp itself.
This change also removes the ability to leave out a namespace or header
file code formatter, since the function is not called that way any more.
That simplifies blobToCpp significantly.
