systemc: Remove a redundant error check.

If the check doesn't abort the port binding in progress, it will be
reported twice.

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.

# 13282:d0546737f962 03-Oct-2018 Gabe Black <gabeblack@google.com>

systemc: Add an sc_gem5::Port destructor.

This destructor just removes the port from the list of all ports.

# 13273:af60ddcf2a32 01-Oct-2018 Gabe Black <gabeblack@google.com>

systemc: Add missing sc_interface::register_port, and add calls to it.

This function is standard and supposed to be on sc_interface, but it
was somehow left out. This change adds it, and makes sure it's called
by the port binding code. The default implementation does nothing, as
it's supposed to according to the spec.

Also note that only the ports farthest from the interfaces are suppose
to call register_port. As the port bindings are completed, we keep
track of whether a port has been bound to another port. If it has, the
source port is farther from the interfaces than the target port (since
it has to go "through" the target port to get to them, and so the
target port should not call register_port.

# 13270:99e1cfb8c6e8 01-Oct-2018 Gabe Black <gabeblack@google.com>

systemc: Change how the timing of binding ports works.

In the Accellera implementation, interfaces are bound to ports
immediately if no ports have been bound, and otherwise saves them for
later along with the ports. The existing implementation would save
all interface and port bindings to finalize at the end of elaboration.

This seems like pointless complexity, but it's necessary to get the
output to match in the tests.

# 13260:4d18f1d20093 26-Sep-2018 Gabe Black <gabeblack@google.com>

systemc: Implement signal based resets.

The implementation is based on sc_event sensitivities.

Also of note is that the way reset works in the Accellera
implementation isn't consistent with the spec. That says that
wait(int n) is supposed to be equivalent to calling wait() n times,
assuming n is greater than 0.

Instead, Accellera stores that count and then doesn't wake up the
process until the count is 0, decrementing it otherwise.

That means that when the process is in reset, it won't actually reset
for those intermediate wait()s which it would if wait() was called
repeatedly. Also, oddly, when a reset becomes asserted, it will clear
the count to 0 explicitly. That may have been an attempt to make the
behavior of wait(int n) match the spec, but it doesn't handle cases
where the reset is already set when wait(int n) is called.

# 13207:034ca389a810 14-Sep-2018 Gabe Black <gabeblack@google.com>

systemc: Rework how delayed sensitivities are handled.

Make BindInfo into a more general purpose Port class which mirrors
sc_module and Module, sc_object and Object, etc. This tracks multiple
bindings internally, and also pending sensitivities. Keep a global
list of ports which are added in reverse order to match Accellera, and
which is iterated over to finalize binding and for phase callbacks.
This is as opposed to doing it one module at a time, and is to better
match Accellera's ordering for the regressions.

Also the sensitivity classes are now built with factory functions,
which gets around problems calling virtual functions from their
constructors or forgetting to having to have extra boilerplate each
place they're constructed.

The port class also now finalizes port or event finder sensitivities
when its binding is completed, unless it's already complete in which
case it does so immediately.
