python: Make iterator handling Python 3 compatible

Many functions that used to return lists (e.g., dict.items()) now
return iterators and their iterator counterparts (e.g.,
dict.iteritems()) have been removed. Switch calls to the Python 2.7
iterator methods to use the Python 3 equivalent and add explicit list
conversions where necessary.

python: Update use of exec to work with Python 3

Python 3 uses 'exec(code, globals)' instead of 'exec code in
globals'. Switch to the newer syntax since it is supported by Python
2.7. Also, move check_tracing out of main to work around a bug in
Python 2.7.

scons: Switch from the print statement to the print function.

Starting with version 3, scons imposes using the print function instead
of the print statement in code it processes. To get things building
again, this change moves all python code within gem5 to use the
function version. Another change by another author separately made this
same change to the site_tools and site_init.py files.

python: Move more code into m5.util allow SCons to use that code.
Get rid of misc.py and just stick misc things in __init__.py
Move utility functions out of SCons files and into m5.util
Move utility type stuff from m5/__init__.py to m5/util/__init__.py
Remove buildEnv from m5 and allow access only from m5.defines
Rename AddToPath to addToPath while we're moving it to m5.util
Rename read_command to readCommand while we're moving it
Rename compare_versions to compareVersions while we're moving it.

jobfile: Add support for dictionaries as jobfile options.
If the same dictionary option is seen in several options, those
dictionaries are composed. If you define the same dictionary key in
multiple options, the system flags an error.
Also, clean up the jobfile code so that it is more debuggable.

python: Move various utility classes into a new m5.util package so
they're all in the same place. This also involves having just one
jobfile.py and moving it into the utils directory to avoid
duplication. Lots of improvements to the utility as well.
