stats: add --stats-root option to dump only under some SimObjects
This commit makes it possible to make invocations such as:
gem5.opt se.py --stats-root 'system.cpu[:].dtb' --stats-root 'system.membus'
When --stats-root is given, only stats that are under any of the root
SimObjects get dumped. E.g. the above invocation would dump stats such as:
system.cpu0.dtb.walker.pwrStateResidencyTicks::UNDEFINED
system.cpu1.dtb.walker.pwrStateResidencyTicks::UNDEFINED
system.membus.pwrStateResidencyTicks::UNDEFINED
system.membus.trans_dist::ReadReq
but not for example `system.clk_domain.clock`.
If the --stats-root is given, only new stats as defined at:
Idc8ff448b9f70a796427b4a5231e7371485130b4 get dumped, and old ones are
ignored. The commits following that one have done some initial conversion
work, but many stats are still in the old format.
