Gabe Black afee6296b5 util: Add a fallback when checking for root.isa in checkpoints.
The upgraders in util/cpt_upgraders have been able to check the
root.isa element of checkpoints to determine what "the" ISA is for a
simulation, as a quick way to bail out of that particular updater
applies only to specific ISAs. We are moving away from the idea that
there is a single ISA, and so this mechanism will no longer work.

Fortunately, these cpt_upgraders are only relevant for old checkpoints.
If a checkpoint doesn't have a root.isa element inside it at all, we
know (as of this writing) that it is newer than all of these upgraders
and hence they do not apply. Any new upgraders will have to be written
to not rely on the root.isa field which will be removed. If that sort
of field is still needed, it can be added somewhere else in the
hierarchy, perhaps at the system level, or as part of the actual ISA
object.

The simplest way to implement this new behavior is to add a fallback
option when an upgrader looks for root.isa, specifically ''. If the
root.isa element does not exist, the script will get '' back, and this
will not match whatever ISA it's trying to check against. The one even
remotely more complicated script is isa-is-simobject.py which has
several behaviors for different ISAs. In that case, we just explicitly
check for '' and return early if that's what we found.
