python: Remove incorrect usage of typing 'Optional'
There has been some confusion about usage of 'Optional'. In some areas
of the codebase it was assumed this specifies an optional parameter
(i.e., one which may or may not set, as it has a default value). This is
incorrect. 'Optional[<type>]' is shorthand for 'Union[<type>, None]',
i.e., it is used to state the value may be 'None'. This patch corrects
this throughout the gem5 codebase.
