This is the second step towards being able to run dynamically linked
applications when the guest ISA != than host ISA.
Once the guest interpreter is loaded to memory, we are able to redirect
shared object loads through the redirectPath interface.
How do we load the guest interpreter?
The elf file is for example asking for the /lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so
interpreter.
That would point to a valid dynamic linker/loader if guest ISA == host
ISA, but if we are running on X86 we should point to the guest
(aarch64 in the example) toolchain wherever it is installed.
This patch is adding the --interp-dir option to point to the parent
folder of the guest /lib in the host fs.

Previously an AddrRange could express interleaving using a number of
consecutive bits and in additional optionally a second number of
consecutive bits. The two sets of consecutive bits would be xored and
matched against a value to determine if an address is in the
AddrRange. For example:
sel[0] = a[8] ^ a[12]
sel[1] = a[9] ^ a[13]
where sel == intlvMatch
This change extends AddrRange to allow more flexible interleavings
with an abritary number of set of bits which do not need be
consecutive. For example:
sel[0] = a[8] ^ a[11] ^ a[13]
sel[1] = a[15] ^ a[17] ^ a[19]
where sel == intlvMatch

These files aren't a collection of miscellaneous stuff, they're the
definition of the Logger interface, and a few utility macros for
calling into that interface (panic, warn, etc.).

The PyBind wrappers could potentially delete SimObjects if they don't
have any references. This is not desirable since there could be
pointers to such objects within the C++ world. This problem doesn't
normally occur since Python typically holds a pointer to the root node
as long as the simulator is running.
Prevent SimObject and Param deletion by using a PyBind-prescribed
unique_ptr with a dummy deleter as the pointer wrapper for the Python
world.

There is a weird issue with the PyBind wrapper of
vector<AddrRange>. Assigning new values to a param that is a vector of
AddrRange sometimes results in an out-of-bounds memory access.
We work around this issue by treating AddrRange vectors as opaque
types. This slightly changes the semantics of the wrapper since Python
now manipulates the real object rather than a copy that has been
converted to a list.

Use the PyBind11 wrapping infrastructure instead of SWIG to generate
wrappers for functionality that needs to be exported to Python. This
has several benefits:
* PyBind11 can be redistributed with gem5, which means that we have
full control of the version used. This avoid a large number of
hard-to-debug SWIG issues we have seen in the past.
* PyBind11 doesn't rely on a custom C++ parser, instead it relies on
wrappers being explicitly declared in C++. The leads to slightly
more boiler-plate code in manually created wrappers, but doesn't
doesn't increase the overall code size. A big benefit is that this
avoids strange compilation errors when SWIG doesn't understand
modern language features.
* Unlike SWIG, there is no risk that the wrapper code incorporates
incorrect type casts (this has happened on numerous occasions in
the past) since these will result in compile-time errors.
As a part of this change, the mechanism to define exported methods has
been redesigned slightly. New methods can be exported either by
declaring them in the SimObject declaration and decorating them with
the cxxMethod decorator or by adding an instance of
PyBindMethod/PyBindProperty to the cxx_exports class variable. The
decorator has the added benefit of making it possible to add a
docstring and naming the method's parameters.
The new wrappers have the following known issues:
* Global events can't be memory managed correctly. This was the
case in SWIG as well.
