This `requires` function allows a simple way to specify ISA, KVM, and
cache coherence protocol requirments within the library and scripts.
An exception will be thrown if the gem5 binary does not meet these
requirements.
The `requires` function may be expanded with other requirements as
needed. At present we only check ISA, KVM, and cache coherence
protocols.

The runtime coherence check should check the cache heirarchy, not the
global protocol so it can differentiate between Ruby and classic.
This patch also removes some unnecessary includes and fails earlier in
MESI_Two_Level if that protocol isn't built.

The purpose of the gem5 components library is to provide gem5 users a
standard set of common and useful gem5 components pre-built to add to
their experiments. The gem5 components library adopts a modular
architecture design with the goal of components being easy to add and
remove from designs, and extendable as needed. E.g., any Memory system
should be interchangable with any other, and if not a helpful error
messages should be raised.
Examples of using the gem5 components library can be found in
`configs/example/components-library`.
Important Disclaimer:
This is a pre-alpha release of the gem5 components library. The purpose
of this release is to get some community feedback on this new component
of gem5. Though some testing has been done, we expect regular fixes and
improvements until this is in a stable state.
The components library has been formatted with Python Black; typing has
been checked with MyPy; and the library has been tested with the scripts
in `configs/example/components-libary`. More rigorous tests are to be
added in future revisions.
More detailed documentation will appear in future revisions.
