This change removes the code base for SingleChannelMemory and
replaces it with MultiChannelMemory. muli_channel defines all
the classes that were defined by single_channel. Basically any
SingleChannelMemory could be thought of as a MultiChannelMemory
with 1 channel.

This is a legacy stat that was not easy to tie to a Stats::Group.
In ARM, this stat wasn't actually counting all faults, it was only
counting the faults that occured in 32-bit mode, so it's probably safe
to remove the stat (it was wrong anyway). For SPARC, it's also unlikely
anyone is depending on this stat for their research.

This change updates the constructor for MultiChannelMemory. The
constructor now assumes every input parameter is of type string
and casts them to proper types inside the function. This way
the MultiChannelMemory could be tested easier. Considering that
tests might not want to pass in all the arguments and might use
argparser to read the inputs.

This test includes,
- A dockerfile creating a Docker image containing SST-Core
and SST-Elements installed. The image also contains the
bbl-busybox-boot-exit binary from gem5-resources.
- A nightly test involving compiling gem5 as a library, and
booting a linux kernel without a disk image using SST where
gem5 TimingSimpleCPU is the CPU core.

Change the type passed to updateBranchData in execute to be a reference,
and replace the nullptr being passed in from Execute::evaluate() with
the current thread's pc. We could use any generic PC instead which might
be slightly faster, but there is likely not a significant difference
and this is a lot easier.

Move the instDone flag, and the instReady function which was
consistently implemented just to return it, to the base InstDecoder
class. This flag can still be accessed easily from the subclasses, but
now it can be retrieved with just an InstDecoder pointer without a
virtual function call.

This allows us to set a high number of threads for gem5 compilation
tasks, and a lower number of threads for running gem5. The latter is
more memory intensive and, therefore, we cannot always use the maximum
number of threads in a system.

Currently, the installation instructions are for installing
SST-core and SST-elements version 11.0.0. This change updates
instructions to the current SST-core and SST-element version,
11.1.0.
This change also reflects that manually downloading the
`bbl-busybox-boot-exit` is no longer necessary as the example
gem5 config will download automatically.

This method is responsible for comparing gem5's state against the state
of the real process. When checking the value of NPC, it accessed the
value of nnpc() by calling pc.nnpc(), but did not actually update regVal
with it, so the comparison was between the value from the real process
and npc().
It's mildly confusing that nnpc is compared against npc, and npc against
pc, but that's because of what the state looks like in the real process
when single stepping through it with ptrace.
You can actually see where this bug was introduced if you look at the
change which created the PCState types originally. There, you can see
how regVal was set using a method of the ThreadContext, but after that
change the value is only accessed and not actually used.

This was originally intended to make it more efficient to get the
microPC without making a copy of the entire PCState object to return.
Now that the PCState is returned through a pointer without a copy and
the microPC can be accessed with an inline accessor, we don't need to
create a special accessor for it.

As described in a comment in the base KVM CPU, there needs to be a way
to set the next PC of a PCState object to the actual current PC. Since
this is the only place that sort of operation is needed and it's a bit
of a hack to get around a quirk of calling pseudo instructions in a KVM
CPU, we can support it by adding a virtual method for it which is
implemented by the ISA specific subclasses of the KVM CPU.
