systemc: Ensure delta notifications happen at the right time after sc_pause.

Normally delta notifications would be created during the evaluation or
update phases, and so there isn't any problem with them cutting in
front of those stages. When the simulation is paused however, those
notifications could be waiting before the ready event starts and could
preempt it.

This change adds a check for that situation to the end of the pause
event and runs the evalution and update stages inline if necessary.
