config: make internal links in network topology unidirectional.
This patch makes the internal links within the network topology
unidirectional, thus allowing any deadlock-free routing algorithms to
be specified from the topology itself using weights.
This patch also renames Mesh.py and MeshDirCorners.py to
Mesh_XY.py and MeshDirCorners_XY.py (Mesh with XY routing).
It also adds a Mesh_westfirst.py and CrossbarGarnet.py topologies.

network: basic link bw for garnet and simple networks

This patch ensures that both Garnet and the simple networks use the bw value
specified in the topology. To do so, the patch generalizes the specification
of bw for basic links. This value is then translated to the specific value
used by the simple and Garnet networks. Since Garent does not support
non-uniformed link bandwidth, the patch also adds a check to ensure all bws are
equal.

network: convert links & switches to first class C++ SimObjects

This patch converts links and switches from second class simobjects that were
virtually ignored by the networks (both simple and Garnet) to first class
simobjects that directly correspond to c++ ojbects manipulated by the
topology and network classes. This is especially true for Garnet, where the
links and switches directly correspond to specific C++ objects.

By making this change, many aspects of the Topology class were simplified.
