config: Default the indirect branch predictor to "None".

Other scripts (like se.py) blindly try to apply the indirect predictor
if one is set. Because this option defaults to something, there's no
way (as far as I know) to purposefully select nothing, and so the
simulator crashes. Users shouldn't have to proactively prevent gem5
from killing itself regardless, so the default was changed to "None".
