base: Introducing utility for writing raw data in png format

Originally it was possible to use a Bitmap writer class for dumping a
framebuffer snapshot in a .bmp file. This patch enables you to choose
another format.  In particular it implements the writing of PNG Images
using libpng library.  The latter has to be already installed in your
machine, otherwise gem5 will default to the Bitmap format.  This
configurable writer has been introduced in the VNC frame dumping mechanism,
which is storing changed frame buffers from the VNC server
