stdlib: Move 'connect_things' to AbstractBoard constructor
This patch moves 'connect_things' to the AbstractBoard constructor,
thereby meaning it does not need to be called directly in gem5
configuration scripts. This method has been changed to private as a
result.
As boards that inherit from AbstractBoard require certain things to be
setup prior to `connect_things` being called, a new abstract function,
`_setup_board` has been created. This is called in the AbstractBoard
constructor before `connect_things` and can be overridden by boards to
setup board properties as required.
