This patches does the following:
- Adds 'SimpointResource' which encapsulates Simpoint data and
functionality. It replaces the old 'gem5.util.simpoint.SimPoint'
class. Simpoints can be loaded from gem5-resources using the
`obtain_resource` function.
- Adds 'SimpointDirectoryResource'. This inherits form
'SimpointResource'. While 'SimpointResource' takes raw Simpoint data
via parameters, 'SimpointDirectoryResource' assumes the data exists
in files, in a directory.
- Updates the
"configs/example/gem5_library/checkpoints/simpoints-se-checkpoint.py"
and
"configs/example/gem5_library/checkpoints/simpoints-se-restory.py"
example files to utilize this new Simpoint resource classes.
**Note**: While the old "SimPoint" class
("src/python/gem5/util/simpoint.py") is marked as deprecated, it may be
difficult to utilize given updates to the APIs in the gem5 stdlib Cores
and Simulator modules.

This commit specializes the Resource class into specific sub-types.
The `Resource`, `CustomResource` and `CustomDiskImageResource` classes
have been deprecated in favor of the `AbstractResource` subclasses.
Custom Resources can be created via the resource specialization
constructor. Resources can be obtained via the gem5-resource
infrastructure with the `obtain_resource` function.
Fully implemented:
- DiskImageResource
- BinaryResource
- KernelResource
- BootloaderResource
- FileResource
- DirectoryResource
Partially implemented:
- SimpointResource
- CheckpointResource
While the schema of the resource.json file has changed, efforts have
been made to ensure backwards compatibility is maintained during this
transition.
Tests are included in this commit to verify this feature works as
expected.
**Note:** The Simpoint tests are disabled in this commit, to be
reenabled when Simpoint resource specialization is fully incorporated
