systemc: Ensure resets and edges are notified when signaling a change.

Boolean sc_buffers (either pure bool or sc_dt::sc_logic) should signal
positive and negative edges and resets even when their value doesn't
change, unlike sc_signals. The spec doesn't actually say that and just
mentions the value changed event, but it may have been implied that the
other types of events also happen, they just made special mention of
the value change event.

This change moves some code around a bit so that when _signalChange()
is called, if the underlying type is a boolean signal, it will
automatically notify the appropriate edge event and signal any reset.
Putting the functionality in _signalChange instead of delegating it to
the sc_buffer lets us have a single template for sc_buffer and makes
the base class template specialization handle whether the edge events
exist, and if so which should be notified.

systemc: Distinguish internal events from normal sc_events.

The internal events aren't supposed to show up in the namespace or as
children of objects.

systemc: Change how signal based resets work.

The previous implementation used the value changed event to track when
signals changed value, but there were a couple problems with this
approach. First, this piggybacked on the sensitivity mechanism in some
ways, but diverged in others. The sensitivity didn't notify a process
when it was satisfied like other sensitivity types would, and it also
ignored whether the process was disabled.

Second, the value_changed_event is notified by a signal instance as a
delta notification, but reset signals are supposed to act immediately.
That means they should happen before all delta notifications, or in
other words all delta notifications should see the reset status of a
given process. That's particularly important in the case of wait(int n)
where setting the reset clears the reset count, and the count is
checked when determining whether or not to wake up a process when its
sensitivity is satisfied, potentially by a delta notification.

Third, by removing the middle man and not trying to repurpose the
sensitivity mechanism, the code gets simpler and easier to understand.

systemc: Implement writer policies.

This includes the nonstandard SC_NO_WRITE_CHECK #define which the
Accellera tests use and depend on.

# 13274:79ce1482d383 01-Oct-2018 Gabe Black <gabeblack@google.com>

systemc: Implement register_port in all the predefined channels.

Something the Accellera implementation does which would be good to do
in the gem5 implementation is to create a base class for sc_signal
which isn't templated, and which holds the common/non-type specific
versions of the various sc_signal methods. This will reduce code
redundancy and binary size, and also let us hide more code in .cc
files so that it's less likely we'd need to recompile model code to
fix a bug.

Also, since this all uses of sc_channel_warn_unimple have now been
eliminated, remove that function.

This doesn't include WIF trace support, but does make allowances for
adding it in the future.

This required a small change to sc_signal so that the value change
event and the change stamp for it were accessible.

implementation based on a big warning in all caps, but they still
appear in the tests and examples in that version of systemc.
