f05cb84ed1 ext: Add SST connector
This patch adds a connector that allows gem5 to be used as a component
in SST (Structural Simulation Toolkit, sst-simulator.org). At a high
level, this allows memory traffic to pass between the two simulators.
SST Links are roughly analogous to gem5 Ports, although Links do not
have a notion of master and slave. This distinction is important to
gem5, so when connecting a gem5 CPU to an SST cache, an ExternalSlave
must be used, and similarly when connecting the memory side of SST cache
to a gem5 port (for memory <-> I/O), an ExternalMaster must be used.

These connectors handle the administrative aspects of gem5
(initialization, simulation, shutdown) as well as translating SST's
MemEvents into gem5 Packets and vice-versa.
