sim, power: Temperature used for power calculations
The temperature used for the power calculations was fixed at 0 degrees, unless a thermal model was setup. This commit allows the user to set the temperature that needs to be used by the power calculation during gem5 configuration. This value will be overwritten if there are thermal models present.

sim: Added model type to power model
Static, dynamic or all to differentiate between types of power models so for example static models will not be asked for a dynamic power

python: Use PyBind11 instead of SWIG for Python wrappers
Use the PyBind11 wrapping infrastructure instead of SWIG to generate wrappers for functionality that needs to be exported to Python. This has several benefits:
* PyBind11 can be redistributed with gem5, which means that we have full control of the version used. This avoid a large number of hard-to-debug SWIG issues we have seen in the past.
* PyBind11 doesn't rely on a custom C++ parser, instead it relies on wrappers being explicitly declared in C++. The leads to slightly more boiler-plate code in manually created wrappers, but doesn't doesn't increase the overall code size. A big benefit is that this avoids strange compilation errors when SWIG doesn't understand modern language features.
* Unlike SWIG, there is no risk that the wrapper code incorporates incorrect type casts (this has happened on numerous occasions in the past) since these will result in compile-time errors.
As a part of this change, the mechanism to define exported methods has been redesigned slightly. New methods can be exported either by declaring them in the SimObject declaration and decorating them with the cxxMethod decorator or by adding an instance of PyBindMethod/PyBindProperty to the cxx_exports class variable. The decorator has the added benefit of making it possible to add a docstring and naming the method's parameters.
The new wrappers have the following known issues:
* Global events can't be memory managed correctly. This was the case in SWIG as well.

sim: Adding support for power models
This patch adds some basic support for power models in gem5.
The power interface is defined so it can interact with thermal models as well. It implements a simple power evaluator that can be used for simple power models that express power in the form of a math expression. These expressions can use stats within the same SimObject (or down its hierarchy) and some magic variables such as "temp" for temperature. In future patches we will extend this functionality to allow slightly more complex expressions.
The model allows it to be extended to use other kinds of models.

Finally, the thermal model is updated to use the power usage as input.
