The sc_time constructor was being called, but because of implicit type
conversions, a const char * was being treated as a bool and totally
unrelated constructor was being called.
This change adds and implements the missing but non-standard
constructor. It also implements the from_string function which uses
that constructor.

This class is non-standard and is an implementation detail in

It does the same thing as the time printing function, so rather than
having duplicate code the printing function now uses the sc_time_tuple
class even though it was doing fine on its own already.

The implementation is based on sc_event sensitivities.
Also of note is that the way reset works in the Accellera
implementation isn't consistent with the spec. That says that
wait(int n) is supposed to be equivalent to calling wait() n times,
assuming n is greater than 0.
Instead, Accellera stores that count and then doesn't wake up the
process until the count is 0, decrementing it otherwise.
That means that when the process is in reset, it won't actually reset
for those intermediate wait()s which it would if wait() was called
repeatedly. Also, oddly, when a reset becomes asserted, it will clear
the count to 0 explicitly. That may have been an attempt to make the
behavior of wait(int n) match the spec, but it doesn't handle cases
where the reset is already set when wait(int n) is called.

The Accellera implementation looks like it does all the methods, then
all the threads, and then loops back and tries again, and there are
even comments in the code that suggests that. What it actually does,
however, is runs all the methods, then runs a single thread if one is
waiting, and then starts over. The effect is that the scheduler will
run any methods first, then run threads until a method might have
become ready, and then repeat.
This will actually result in more mixing of threads and methods, more
context switches, and worse performance, but it makes the regressions
pass more.

Make BindInfo into a more general purpose Port class which mirrors
sc_module and Module, sc_object and Object, etc. This tracks multiple
bindings internally, and also pending sensitivities. Keep a global
list of ports which are added in reverse order to match Accellera, and
which is iterated over to finalize binding and for phase callbacks.
This is as opposed to doing it one module at a time, and is to better
match Accellera's ordering for the regressions.
Also the sensitivity classes are now built with factory functions,
which gets around problems calling virtual functions from their
constructors or forgetting to having to have extra boilerplate each
place they're constructed.
The port class also now finalizes port or event finder sensitivities
when its binding is completed, unless it's already complete in which
case it does so immediately.

Dynamic and Static sensitivities used to be represented by the same
classes, even though they're (almost) disjoint in how they worked. Also
timeouts, which can be used alongside dynamic sensitivities, were
handled by the sensitivities themselves. That meant that the
sensitivity mechanism had to mix in more types of behaviors,
increasing complexity. Also, the non-standard timed_out function
Accellera includes is harder to implement if the path for timeouts and
regular sensitivities are mixed together.
This change splits up dynamic and static sensitivities and splits out
timeouts. It also immitates the ordering Accellera uses when going
through sensitivities for an event. Static sensitivities are triggered
first in reverse order (why?), and then dynamic sensitivities are
triggered in what amounts to reverse order. To delete a sensitivity
which has been handled, it's swapped with the one in the last position,
and then the vector is truncated to drop it at the end. This has the
net effect of stirring the dynamic sensitivities, and isn't easily
immitated using a different approach, even if other approaches would
be more straightforward.

From what I see, none of the tests rely on the value tracking the

The Accellera implementation runs processes in a cycle where it first
runs all the methods it has, then all the threads, and then starts
again in case any new methods have been scheduled. This keeps methods
and processes in the order they were marked ready (what a prior change
made this scheduler do), but also keeps the methods together and the
threads together (something it used to do, but that change made it
stop doing). This change should make the gem5 scheduler match in both
respects.
Note that its correct to run the processes in whatever order we want,
it's just that if we're going to compare against the "golden" output
from the Accellera tests, we need to match the order to get sensible
results.
