The SPEC2006 and SPEC2017 example configs require the passing of SPEC
disk image to function correctly. Prior to this commit a root partition
parameter was required. However, disk images don't necessarily have
partitions. In this case an empty string needed passed.
This patch makes the root partition parameter optional. If a disk image
does not have a root partition, it does not need specified.

This CustomResource can be used to specify a custom, local disk image.
It allows the user to specify the disk root partition parameter
considerably easier than when setting a disk image through a
CustomResource.

CustomResource's base class, AbstractResource, must be constructed with
a dictionary for the 'metadata' field. However, if the user did not
specify any metadata for the CustomResource, None is passed. This is
not permitted and can cause error. This patch ensures the metadata is
set to an empty dictionary by default

In the SST integration the top of the main queue is checked
for an event before starting the simulation.
If the first event is scheduled after the ending tick, we are
just returning the simulate_limit_event without entering
the simulation loop.
If the method is called with an empty queue, the following
line will segfault (getHead() == nullptr):
gem5::mainEventQueue[0]->getHead()->when()
With this patch we are covering the case where we have
an empty event queue

Like gem5py which uses the same main source file, this program will run
arbitrary python scripts. Unlike the other program, it will include
support for the m5 module. That will make it capable of generating
SimObject param, enum, etc c++ files.

I can't conclusively verify that this issue has been fixed because I
can't find any information about it on the internet. It's "SCons bug
2006" and "gem5 bug 308" but neither project still uses whatever bug
tracking mechanism those numbers correspond to. The change was mentioned
in the gem5 code base at least as early as 2008, and so hopefully has
been fixed in the last 13 years. I did a clean build without this
workaround, and things seem to work.

By separating out this utility class, we make it possible to build
embedded python modules into other binarys without dragging along lots
of other, unrelated gem5 dependencies.
Also, move the class from sim/init.hh (which is a largely unrelated
name) to python/embedded.hh which much more directly describes what that
file contains.

Put that code into a singleton class in src/proto, so that it gets
called during initialization and teardown of gem5 without cluttering up
gem5Main. This also removes the need to use #ifdefs to guard for
actualling having protobuf support.

Use pybind11 to avoid having to use the python C API directly, which is
simpler, easier to read, and less error prone. Also, use its
PYBIND11_EMBEDDED_MODULE macro to set up the _m5 module instead of a
callback which has to be proactively called from main().

m5MainCommands had been a way to override the python code which would
get the python side of gem5 started, used by some "unit" tests which
were really tests of all of gem5 but focus on a particular area. Those
tests have either been converted into real unit tests or eliminated,
and so that mechanism is no longer needed.
This change eliminates that mechanism, and also uses pybind11 to
significantly simplify the code that calls m5.main().

Previously, the importer module was built into gem5 as a compressed
bytecode blob like all the other code, and it had to be singled out and
installed manually so that it could help bring in all the other modules.
That adds some amount of complexity since it has to be identified and
treated as a special case.
Instead, this change builds it into gem5 using pybind11's
PYBIND11_EMBEDDED_MODULE macro, and a string that gets evaluated into
the new module's __dict__. This means the importer module is
automatically available just by building in that .cc, and it can just be
imported to start using it.
Theoretically all the embedded python could be handled this way, but
that would mean building it into gem5 as raw strings which wouldn't even
be compiled into byte code until run time. That would take more space in
the binary, and also delay catching simple errors.

This serves two purposes. First, it's a way to declare the base
SimObject class and params using the SimObject() SCons mechanism, while
the actual class still lives at m5/SimObject.py.
Second, it alleviates a very old inconsistency where *most* SimObjects
are imported using the m5.objects.Foo path, except SimObject itself
which lives under m5.SimObject. With this change, it will live under
both, more or less.
It may be possible to remove the inconsistency entirely in the future
and move m5.SimObject entirely to m5.objects.SimObject and only declare
it with SCons's SimObject(), but that won't quite work during this
transitional period, and it wouldn't give users a chance to move over to
the new name.

When the "path" argument is empty, use the file name of the node
referred to by the fd file descriptor. This matches the behavior of
"at" system calls when the TGT_AT_EMPTY_PATH flag is set. The system
calls themselves are responsible for checking for that flag, and
returning an error if an empty "path" is not allowed.
