The only tests requiring the the compilation of SPARC, MIPS, and POWER
for the long/nightly suite were
"tests/gem5/multi_isa/test_multi_isa.py" and
"gem5/stdlib/test_requires.py". As compilation of gem5 is quite costly,
it'd best we simply remove these tests. They are minor and not very
important.
Compilation of these ISAs will continue to be tested via the compilation
tests.

The BaseCPUProcessor is processor containing BaseCPUCores. This gives
gem5 stdlib users a way to create processors containing BaseCPU
SimObjects. While SimpleProcessor does this by-proxy (the user simply
specifies the desires CPUType and ISA and the correct BaseCPU
instantiation is chosen), this new Processor allows a more raw passing
of BaseCPU objects.
The SimpleProcessor now inherrits from this BaseCPUProcessor to avoid
duplcation of functionality. A refactor to achieve this was moving the
setting of the board's memory mode from the SimpleProcessor's
"incorporate_processor" function to the BaseCPUProcessor's then altering
it to determine MemMode based on BaseCPU subclass rather than the
CPUType.
The tests/gem5/configs/simple_binary_run.py test script has been
extended to create an stdlib run with a BaseCPUProcessor instead of the
SimpleProcessor and tests have been included to ensure the
BaseCPUProcessor functions as intended.
Multiple cores comprising of different BaseCPU types has not been tested
and is not officially supported as of this commit.
