way ranges work, more fully support metric prefixes for all
integer types, and convert memory sized parameters to the
MemorySize type.
python/m5/config.py:
- no more _Param and _ParamProxy stuff. Use the names
ParamBase and ParamFactory to hopefully make it clearer
what we intend.
- Get rid of RangeSize and the old Range class and more fully flesh
out the Range class to deal with types of parameters and different
kinds of ranges.
- Call toInteger on the CheckedInt types so we can use metric prefixes
in strings for all integers.
- Get rid of the K, M, and G constants. Use the proper type or call
one of the functions in the convert package.
python/m5/convert.py:
Simple way to deal with both floating point and integer strings.
python/m5/objects/BaseCache.mpy:
python/m5/objects/Ethernet.mpy:
This is a MemorySize typed parameter

the m5 package as convert.py
add a smartdict class which stores strings and can intelligently
interpret those string variables as several other types.
make the env dict use the smartdict class
python/m5/config.py:
move a bunch of conversion functions into convert.py
turn the env dict into a smartdict
adapt the _CheckedInt stuff to deal with derived types
python/m5/objects/BaseCPU.mpy:
env is now a smartdict and can properly convert to bool
