Recent breaking changes in the DRAMSys API require user code to be
updated. These updates have been applied to the gem5 integration.
Furthermore, as DRAMSys started to use CMake dependency management,
it is no longer sensible to maintain two separate build systems for
DRAMSys. The use of the DRAMSys integration in gem5 will therefore
from now on require that CMake is installed on the target machine.
Additionally, support for snapshots have been implemented into DRAMSys
and coupled with gem5's checkpointing API.
* stdlib,configs,tests: Remove `Resource` class use
This class is deprecated, but was still used in various example
configuration scriots and tests. This patch replaces it with the
`obtain_resource` function.
Change-Id: I0c89bf17783ccaaafc18072aaeefb5d1e207bc55
* configs: Remove `CustomDiskImageResource` use
The class is deprecated but was still used in the SPEC example scripts.
This patch replaces it with the `DiskImageResource` class.

* configs,tests: Remove `CustomResource` use
This class is deprecated but was still used in example scripts and
mentioned, incorrectly, in comments in the pyunit tests. This patch
removes these.

* stdlib: Remove '\' in Workload docstring example
This example shows how to use the Workload. The backslash is not correct Python and would fail if used in this way.

Add DRAMSys as a new AbstractMemorySystem to the gem5 stdlib.
Also, provide convenient subclasses with predefined DRAMSys
configurations.
Add two new stdlib examples:
- dramsys-traffic.py: Demonstrates the usage of DRAMSys
using the stdlib TrafficGenerators
- arm-hello-dramsys.py: A variant of the arm-hello.py
script that uses DRAMSys as it's memory.
These DRAMSys memory components are only compiled into the standard
library if DRAMSys is not compiled into gem5.
