Using mechanisms added in previous CLs, this change modifies the m5
utility so that it can use any of the back ends enabled and implemented
by each variant, defaulting to one particular implementation if not is
selected explicitly.
On x86, the default mechanism is the magic address. All other variants
default to the magic instruction since they don't have a well
established address to use or even in most cases an implementation to
use.
The ability to override the particular magic address the utility wants
to use (necessary on variants such as aarch64) will be added in a future
CL.

These make the calling code in m5.c a little bit more generic. Each call
type will have a function to check the arguments and see if that type is
being requested and/or has any additional options set in the arguments.
If so, those are processed, and argc and argv are adjusted.
Then another function returns the appropriate dispatch table to use for
that invocation scheme. This is behind a function instead of, for
instance, a global variable because it gives the call type a little bit
more control over what's happening, for instance if it would use
different implementations in slightly different circumstances.

It may be the case that each item M5OP_FOREACH iterates over should end
in a ',' and not a ';', for instance when putting each item into an
array or initializing a structure. If the caller still wants a ';', they
can add it into the definition of the M5OP macro.

This is a small additional layer on top of the initparam command and
just breaks the returned value into 12 bit chunks. It presumes that
there is some particular meaning to the default initparam value which
may or may not be true. It's not entirely clear what the 12 bit chunks
that this command returns are actually good for, and it's been around
long enough that there isn't really any good documentation about what
it's intended purpose was.

This change removes the responsibility for checking the number of
arguments and handing the default of no string back into init_param and
out of the function which packs strings into registers. It also renames
the function to more closely match its purpose, and rewrites it to be a
bit simpler and (IMHO) easier to follow.
Importantly, rather than doing a hand implemented strcpy which would
follow the endianness of the target/simulated platform, this change
makes this function pack the registers explicitly in little endian byte
order. This way on the consuming end in gem5, the initParam function
doesn't have to care what the guest endianness is, it can just translate
them from little endian to whatever the host endianness is (very likely
also little endian).

This command did not use any m5 ops, does the same thing as the
"taskset" command under Linux:
https://linux.die.net/man/1/taskset
and might even have introduced a build error if compiled for any other
OS since that would have left a trailing comma in the mainfuncs array.
While the last problem would be easy to correct, this is not related to
the purpose of this utility (giving access to m5 ops), and is redundant
with an existing standard utility provided with Linux.

Because I don't have a canonical toolchain to set SPARC's defaults to,
it will by default build for Linux instead of Solaris like it used to.
This will make it hard to test, but without a compiler there's not much
I can do.
This also coincidentally brings the SPARC version more in line with the
other variants which all target Linux.

When compiling static objects, disable pie with the -no-pie linker flag.
This is necessary for x86, and doesn't seem to hurt anything for the
other variants.
When compiling shared objects, particularly the assembly files which
can't rely on the compiler to generate position independent code, define
M5OP_PIC so that the assembly code can configure itself correctly.

These are currently specific to aarch64, but will be expanded to cover
all other versions of the utility as well.
The intention of these new files is to centralize the build mechanism
for the different versions of the utility so that they have consistent
features, mechanisms, and targets, and so that new features will
automatically be shared by all versions without having to be implemented
in each.
This also sets up a separate build directory which will keep the source
tree clean, and will (with some more development) make it possible to
build multiple versions of the m5 utility at the same time without them
running into each other.

make -f Makefile.<arch> gem5OpLua.so
To use it:
First, put gem5OpLua.so in Lua library search path.
Then, import the module and execute the m5op function.
Example usage, creating a checkpoint.
m5 = require("gem5OpLua")
m5.do_checkpoint(0, 0)
