Brandon Potter a928a438b8 style: [patch 3/22] reduce include dependencies in some headers
Used cppclean to help identify useless includes and removed them. This
involved erroneously included headers, but also cases where forward
declarations could have been used rather than a full include.

David Guillen Fandos 7cfb59d6e5 sim: Adding support for power models
This patch adds some basic support for power models in gem5.

The power interface is defined so it can interact with thermal
models as well. It implements a simple power evaluator that
can be used for simple power models that express power in the
form of a math expression. These expressions can use stats
within the same SimObject (or down its hierarchy) and some
magic variables such as "temp" for temperature.
In future patches we will extend this functionality to allow
slightly more complex expressions.

The model allows it to be extended to use other kinds of models.

Finally, the thermal model is updated to use the power usage as input.
