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.

-option to allow threads to run to a max_inst_any_thread which is more useful/quicker in a lot of
cases then always having to figure out what tick to run your simulation to.
this was double scheduling itself (once in constructor and once in cpu code). also add support for stopping / starting
progress events through repeatEvent flag and also changing the interval of the progress event as well
directly configured by python. Move stuff from root.(cc|hh) to
core.(cc|hh) since it really belogs there now.
In the process, simplify how ticks are used in the python code.

configs/common/Simulation.py:
Atomic CPU now works properly with caches, so we don't have to do extra parsing to hook up caches only to the timing CPU.
However the O3CPU must always use caches, so a check for that must still exist.
Also change the switch_cpus to be placed at the system level, now that Steve changed how the IntrController gets its CPU.

configs/example/se.py:
Atomic CPU now handles caches.
