cpu,arch-arm: Initialise data members

The value that is not initialized has a bogus value that manifests when
using some debug-flags what makes the usage of tracediff a bit more
challenging.

In addition, while debugging with other techniques, it introduces the
problem of understanding if the value of a field is 'intended' or just
an effect of the lack of initialisation.

cpu: Fix the usage of const DynInstPtr

Summary: Usage of const DynInstPtr& when possible and introduction of
move operators to RefCountingPtr.

In many places, scoped references to dynamic instructions do a copy of
the DynInstPtr when a reference would do. This is detrimental to
performance. On top of that, in case there is a need for reference
tracking for debugging, the redundant copies make the process much more
painful than it already is.

Also, from the theoretical point of view, a function/method that
defines a convenience name to access an instruction should not be
considered an owner of the data, i.e., doing a copy and not a reference
is not justified.

On a related topic, C++11 introduces move semantics, and those are
useful when, for example, there is a class modelling a HW structure that
contains a list, and has a getHeadOfList function, to prevent doing a
copy to an internal variable -> update pointer, remove from the list ->
update pointer, return value making a copy to the assined variable ->
update pointer, destroy the returned value -> update pointer.

python: Add utility function to override config parameters

Add a utility method, SimObject.apply_config that can be used to
implement SimObject param overrides from the command line. This
function provides safe and convenient semantics for CLI assignment:

* The override expression is evaluated in a restricted environment. The
  only global variables are the child objects and params from the root
  object.

* Only params can be overridden. For example, calling methods or setting
  attributes on SimObjects isn't possible.

* Vectors use non-standard list semantics which enable something similar
  to glob expansion on the shell. For example, setting:

      root.system.cpu[0:2].numThreads = 2

  will override numThreads for cpu 0 and 1 and:

      root.system.cpus[0,2].numThreads = 2

  sets it for cpus 0 and 2.

The intention is that the helper method is called to override default
values before calling m5.instantiate.
