This allows us to set a high number of threads for gem5 compilation
tasks, and a lower number of threads for running gem5. The latter is
more memory intensive and, therefore, we cannot always use the maximum
number of threads in a system.

Without this verbose flag, there is no information output on the tests
currently running. Output is only given on the pass/fail status of a
test after completion. This is unhelpful if the tests fail due to a
timeout (e.g., a test has stalled).
The '-vv' verbose flags sets up the TestLib package to output when a
test has started execution. This information can help in figuring out
which test caused a timeout event to occur.

In order to fix several regression failures [1] the master/slave
terminology in src/cpu/BaseCPU.py was reintroduced [2].
This patch is addressing the issue by providing 2 different
ways of connecting cpu ports:
*) connectBus: The method assumes an object with a bus interface is
passed as an argument, therefore it tries to bind cpu ports to the
bus.mem_side_ports and bus.cpu_side_ports
*) connectAllPorts: No assumption on the port owning device is made.
The method simply accepts ports as arguments which will be directly
connected to the peer cpu ports
This will be used for example by ruby Sequencers

Two tests, one in test_kvm_fork_run.py and another in
test_kvm_cpu_switch.py, were trying to run the MI_Example protocol as
part of the quick/kokoro run. MI_Example requires the building of X86,
though we try to use GCN3_X86 exclusively to avoid compiling an
additional target. As such, these MI_Example tests have been moved to
the long/nightly run.

This patch moves 'connect_things' to the AbstractBoard constructor,
thereby meaning it does not need to be called directly in gem5
configuration scripts. This method has been changed to private as a
result.
As boards that inherit from AbstractBoard require certain things to be
setup prior to `connect_things` being called, a new abstract function,
`_setup_board` has been created. This is called in the AbstractBoard
constructor before `connect_things` and can be overridden by boards to
setup board properties as required.

The override parameter in the constructor has been renamed to to
'download_md5_mismatch'. This makes the purpose of this parameter
clearer.
The default value has been changed from False to True. We found in most
cases we want to re-download files if the md5 values have changes. Not
wanting to do so is the corner case. This allows us to remove a lot of
parameters from test and example scripts, included in this patch.

There has been some confusion about usage of 'Optional'. In some areas
of the codebase it was assumed this specifies an optional parameter
(i.e., one which may or may not set, as it has a default value). This is
incorrect. 'Optional[<type>]' is shorthand for 'Union[<type>, None]',
i.e., it is used to state the value may be 'None'. This patch corrects
this throughout the gem5 codebase.

The GPU models support a simple register allocation policy (1 WF/CU at a
time) and a dynamic register allocation policy (up to max WF/CU at a
time). By default, the simple policy is used. However, the dynamic
policy is much more realistic relative to real hardware and thus much
more important to ensure it works in the regressions. This commit
updates the nightly and weekly regressions accordingly to run the
dynamic register allocation policy.

Add the Pannotia benchmarks to the weekly regression suite. These
applications do a good job of testing the GPU support for irregular
access patterns of various kinds. All inputs have been sized to use
relatively small graphs to avoid increasing runtime too much. However,
even with small input sizes Pannotia does run for a while.
Note that the Pannotia benchmarks also use m5ops in them. Thus, this
commit also adds support into the weekly regression for compiling the
m5ops (for x86, since that is what the GPU model assumes for the CPU).

66a056b8 changed the weekly regression to use a single docker for
all GPU tests, to reduce how many times gem5 needed to be compiled.
However, in my local testing of that patch, gem5-resources was not
deleted until after the docker was created -- which causes a problem
when gem5-resources does not exist already from a prior run, since
the creation of the dockerfile requires it for HACC. This commit
fixes this problem by moving the pull of gem5-resources to be before
anything else related to the GPU happens.

to avoid setting all of them manually, we use a specific Dockerfile for

GPU tests in the weekly regression, this commit also updates the weekly
regression such that all GPU weekly regression tests use HACC's docker
