config: Cleanup .json config file generation
This patch 'completes' .json config files generation by adding in the
SimObject references and String-valued parameters not currently
printed.
TickParamValues are also changed to print in the same tick-value
format as in .ini files.
This allows .json files to describe a system as fully as the .ini files
currently do.
This patch adds a new function config_value (which mirrors ini_str) to
each ParamValue and to SimObject. This function can then be explicitly
changed to give different .json and .ini printing behaviour rather than
being written in terms of ini_str.

dev, arm: Add support for linux generic pci host driver
This change adds support for a generic pci host bus driver that
has been included in recent Linux kernel instead of the more
bespoke one we've been using to date. It also works with
aarch64 so it provides PCI support for 64-bit ARM Linux.
To make this work a new configuration option pci_io_base is added
to the RealView platform that should be set to the start of
the memory used as memory mapped IO ports (IO ports that are
memory mapped, not regular memory mapped IO). And a parameter
pci_cfg_gen_offsets which specifies if the config space
offsets should be used that the generic driver expects.
To use the pci-host-generic device you need to:
pci_io_base = 0x2f000000 (Valid for VExpress EMM)
pci_cfg_gen_offsets = True
and add the following to your device tree:
pci {
