sim-se: add a faux-filesystem
This change introduces the concept of a faux-filesystem. The faux-filesystem creates a directory structure in m5out (or whatever output dir the user specifies) where system calls may be redirected.
This is useful to avoid non-determinism when reading files with varying path names (e.g., variations from run-to-run if the simulation is scheduled on a cluster where paths may change).
Also, this changeset allows circumventing host pseudofiles which have information specific to the host processor (such as cache hierarchy or processor information). Bypassing host pseudofiles can be useful when executing runtimes in the absence of an operating system kernel since runtimes may try to query standard files (i.e. /proc or /sys) which are not relevant to an application executing in syscall emulation mode.
