This is basically like the range_map stuff in src/base (range already
exists in Python). This code is like a set of ranges. I'm using it
to keep track of changed lines in source code, but it could be use to
keep track of memory ranges and holes in memory regions. It could
also be used in memory allocation type stuff. (Though it's not at all
optimized.)
It would be nice if python had a tree class that would do this for real,
but since we don't, we'll just keep a sorted list of keys and update
it on demand.
Get rid of misc.py and just stick misc things in __init__.py
Move utility functions out of SCons files and into m5.util
Move utility type stuff from m5/__init__.py to m5/util/__init__.py
Remove buildEnv from m5 and allow access only from m5.defines
Rename AddToPath to addToPath while we're moving it to m5.util
Rename read_command to readCommand while we're moving it
Rename compare_versions to compareVersions while we're moving it.

they're all in the same place. This also involves having just one
jobfile.py and moving it into the utils directory to avoid
duplication. Lots of improvements to the utility as well.
