Most of the time, the type pointed to by a PCState pointer or reference
will be the same as all the others, if not nullptr.
This change adds a set of "set" functions which assume that the
underlying type of each pointer or reference are the same, and handles
casting, copying things over, creating a new copy, etc, for you. It uses
a new "update" virtual method on PCState subclasses which casts the
source to the same type as the destination and copies values over.
Note that the "set" function doesn't actually verify that the two types
are the same, just like the overloaded ==, != and << operators. In the
future, those checks can be added for debugging purposes, probably
guarded by a configuration variable which can be toggled on or off to
get better performance or more thorough error checking.
The main advantage of these wrappers are that they allows consistent
semantics whether your moving a value from a pointer, or from a yet
unconverted PCState subclass, or vice versa, which will be particularly
helpful while transitioning between using raw PCState instances and
using primarily pointers and references.
This change also adds wrappers which handle std::unique_ptr, which makes
it easier to use them as arguments to these functions. Otherwise, if the
std::unique_ptr is a temporary value, using the return value of .get()
will let the std::unique_ptr go out of scope, making it delete the data
pointed to by the returned pointed. By keeping the std::unique_ptr
around on the stack, that prevents it from going out of scope.

This will let callers create a separate copy of a PCState class
instance. This makes it more explicit when creating copies of a PCState
to make sure the programmer is more aware, and avoids having to know
what the actual type is to make a copy.

Apply the gem5 namespace to the codebase.
Some anonymous namespaces could theoretically be removed,
but since this change's main goal was to keep conflicts
at a minimum, it was decided not to modify much the
general shape of the files.
A few missing comments of the form "// namespace X" that
occurred before the newly added "} // namespace gem5"
have been added for consistency.
std out should not be included in the gem5 namespace, so
they weren't.
ProtoMessage has not been included in the gem5 namespace,
since I'm not familiar with how proto works.
Regarding the SystemC files, although they belong to gem5,
they actually perform integration between gem5 and SystemC;
therefore, it deserved its own separate namespace.
Files that are automatically generated have been included
in the gem5 namespace.
The .isa files currently are limited to a single namespace.
This limitation should be later removed to make it easier
to accomodate a better API.
Regarding the files in util, gem5:: was prepended where
suitable. Notice that this patch was tested as much as
possible given that most of these were already not
previously compiling.

The only thing brought in by arch/types.hh is TheISA::PCState. Instead
of having the other types around where they could be used accidentally,
and to make it more obvious what's being exported, this change splits
PCState out into a new switching header called arch/pcstate.hh. The
original arch/types.hh is no longer a switching header, and includes
pcstate.hh.
