arch, base, sim: Demote (SE|FS)TranslatingPortProxy &s to PortProxy &s.

Al(most) all of the interesting differences between the two classes
have been removed. There are some control methods which are still
specific to each type which may require treating them as their true
type, but most code that consumes them doesn't need to worry about
which is which.

# 11800:54436a1784dc 09-Nov-2016 Brandon Potter <brandon.potter@amd.com>

style: [patch 3/22] reduce include dependencies in some headers

Used cppclean to help identify useless includes and removed them. This
involved erroneously included headers, but also cases where forward
declarations could have been used rather than a full include.

MEM: Make port proxies use references rather than pointers

This patch is adding a clearer design intent to all objects that would
not be complete without a port proxy by making the proxies members
rathen than dynamically allocated. In essence, if NULL would not be a
valid value for the proxy, then we avoid using a pointer to make this
clear.

The same approach is used for the methods using these proxies, such as
loadSections, that now use references rather than pointers to better
reflect the fact that NULL would not be an acceptable value (in fact
the code would break and that is how this patch started out).

Overall the concept of "using a reference to express unconditional
composition where a NULL pointer is never valid" could be done on a
much broader scale throughout the code base, but for now it is only
done in the locations affected by the proxies.

MEM: Add port proxies instead of non-structural ports

Port proxies are used to replace non-structural ports, and thus enable
all ports in the system to correspond to a structural entity. This has
the advantage of accessing memory through the normal memory subsystem
and thus allowing any constellation of distributed memories, address
maps, etc. Most accesses are done through the "system port" that is
used for loading binaries, debugging etc. For the entities that belong
to the CPU, e.g. threads and thread contexts, they wrap the CPU data
port in a port proxy.

The following replacements are made:
FunctionalPort > PortProxy
TranslatingPort > SETranslatingPortProxy
VirtualPort > FSTranslatingPortProxy

includes: sort all includes


# 5499:8bfc7650c344 01-Jul-2008 Ali Saidi <saidi@eecs.umich.edu>

Remove delVirtPort() and make getVirtPort() only return cached version.


# 5498:2af99511ded4 01-Jul-2008 Ali Saidi <saidi@eecs.umich.edu>

Change everything to use the cached virtPort rather than created their own each time.
This appears to work, but I don't want to commit it until it gets tested a lot more.
I haven't deleted the functionality in this patch that will come later, but one question
is how to enforce encourage objects that call getVirtPort() to not cache the virtual port
since if the CPU changes out from under them it will be worse than useless. Perhaps a null
function like delVirtPort() is still useful in that case.


# 5191:bebbfea0baf3 31-Oct-2007 Ali Saidi <saidi@eecs.umich.edu>

Linux Support: Finally update vptr for new memory system.


# 2680:246e7104f744 06-Jun-2006 Kevin Lim <ktlim@umich.edu>

Change ExecContext to ThreadContext. This is being renamed to differentiate between the interface used objects outside of the CPU, and the interface used by the ISA. ThreadContext is used by objects outside of the CPU and is specifically defined in thread_context.hh. ExecContext is more implicit, and is defined by files such as base_dyn_inst.hh or cpu/simple/base.hh.

Further renames/reorganization will be coming shortly; what is currently CPUExecContext (the old ExecContext from m5) will be renamed to SimpleThread or something similar.

New directory structure:
- simulator source now in 'src' subdirectory
- imported files from 'ext' repository
- support building in arbitrary places, including
outside of the source tree. See comment at top
of SConstruct file for more details.
Regression tests are temporarily disabled; that
syetem needs more extensive revisions.

SConstruct:
Update for new directory structure.
Modify to support build trees that are not subdirectories
of the source tree. See comment at top of file for
more details.
Regression tests are temporarily disabled.
src/arch/SConscript:
src/arch/isa_parser.py:
src/python/SConscript:
