base-stats: Add Units to Stats
This commit adds an option to add SI and its derived units to stats.
Units are now the third parameter of every Stat class constructor.
The following are convenient macros that could be used to add units
to stats,
* UNIT_CYCLE: represents clock cycles.
* UNIT_TICK: represents the count of gem5's Tick.
* UNIT_SECOND: represents the base unit of time defined by SI.
* UNIT_BIT: represents the number of computer bits.
* UNIT_BYTE: represents 8 bits.
* UNIT_VOLT: a SI derived unit measuring potential difference.
* UNIT_JOULE: represents joule, a unit of energy, as defined by SI.
* UNIT_WATT: represents 1 watt, where 1 watt = 1 joule / second.
* UNIT_CELSIUS: represents 1 Celsius degree as defined by SI.
* UNIT_RATE(T1, T2): represents the unit of a quantity of T1 divided
by a quantity of T2.
* UNIT_RATIO: represents the unit of a quantity of unit T divided by
a quantity of unit T.
* UNIT_UNSPECIFIED: the unit of the stat is unspecified. This type of
unit is mainly for backward compatibility. Newly
introduced stats should have the units specified.
This commit also alters the behavior of the ADD_STAT macro.
Specifically, ADD_STAT syntax is unchanged, but the unit of the stat
is hardcoded to be UNIT_UNSPECIFIED.
