This `mkdir` is problematic as it doesn't create the directory
recursively. This casues errors if `dir` is `X/Y/Z` and both `Y` and `Z`
has not been created. An error will be returned (`No such file or
directory`).
This issue was fixed with: https://github.com/gem5/gem5/pull/263. The
checkpointing code already recursively creates directories as needed.
Ergo was can remove this `mkdir` statement.

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.

The
'configs/example/gem5_library_checkpoints/simpoints-se-checkpoint.py'
example would dump the savepoint in the CWD. This is fine when running
as an example, but we also run this script as a test. In this case the
checkpoint litters the repository.
To fix this, an optional 'checkpoint-path' argument is added to this
example which specifies where the checkpoint is to be saved. In the
tests, the checkpoint is saved to 'tests/gem5/resources'. This is our
default location for resources needed/produced by tests and is ignored
by git.

simpoints-se-checkpoint.py & simpoints-se-restore.py:
These are two example scripts to show how to use SimPoints functions with
the stdlib.
se_binary_workload.py:
Allow se_binary_workload to take in SimPoint Class item and schedule
SimPoint exit events.
exit_event.py:
Added SIMPOINT_BEGIN and MAX_INSTS exit events.
simulator.py:
Added SIMPOINT_BEGIN and MAX_INSTS exit event scheduling functions.
They can schedule exit events before or during the simulation.
