Create unit tests for the stats storage types. As a side effect
storage-related classes have been moved to separate files.
HistStor's grow_up, grow_out, and grow_convert have been made
private and renamed to comply with gem5's naming convention
and make grow_convert match its grow_up counterpart (growDown)
which is more suitable for its expected behavior.
The params declarations have been moved to be close to their
storage class' constructor.
HistStor has a explicit condition stating that there must be
at least 2 buckets.
Added documentation!
Fixed grow_convert so that it yields consistent histograms.
Previously buckets could not fully intersect, so doubling their
bucket size would make them steal contents innaproprietly. For
example, the neighbors [-6,-2[, [-2,2[, [2,6[, when doubled,
become [-12,-4[, [-4,4[, [4,12[; however, since the individual
values are not stored, it is impossible to know how to populate
the middle bucket with its neighbor's partial contents.
This fix forces the middle bucket of a storage to have its lower
bound at 0, solving the partial intersection issue.
