When invoking several copies of m5 on the same machine at the same
time, there can be a race for TCP ports for the terminal connections
or remote gdb. Expose a function to disable those ports, and have the
regression scripts disable them. There are some SimObjects that have
no other function than to be used with ports (NativeTrace and
EtherTap), so they will panic if the ports are disabled.
Add support for declaring SimObjects to swig so their members can be wrapped.
Make sim_object.i only contain declarations for SimObject.
Create system.i to contain declarations for System.
Update python code to properly call the C++ given the new changes.

directly configured by python. Move stuff from root.(cc|hh) to
core.(cc|hh) since it really belogs there now.
In the process, simplify how ticks are used in the python code.

so things are organized in a more sensible manner. Take apart
finalInit and expose the individual functions which are now
called from python. Make checkpointing a bit easier to use.
