Ciro Santilli 82f6d6e90f configs: allow fs.py and fs_bigLITTLE.py to work without M5_PATH
The requirement to have an environment variable exported to run a program
is not common, and many new users trip up on it.

Before this commit, M5_PATH was a requirement to run those scripts, or
else simulation would fail with:

IOError: Can't find a path to system files.

After this patch, as long as users indicate all required files with
command line options, M5_PATH is not needed.

This patch changes the M5_PATH semantics slightly to more closely match
PATH and so be more intuitive to users: after this commit, if the
given path contains a slash /, then the path is not searched for inside
M5_PATH, which is exactly how PATH works. Users can then select images
in the CWD with a leading ./ just as done for executables.

This is backwards incompatible if users were already specifying their paths
as ./, but this interface feels saner, because otherwise writing on the CLI
e.g.:

--disk-image path/to/my.disk

would previously fail to find the disk, even if it existed, which is very
counter-intuitive. The following will still fail however:

--disk-image my.disk

which is not ideal, but for now is a comprise between backwards
compatibility of having an M5_PATH and what users expect from CLI
interfaces.
