---------------------------
config: Cleanup CPU configuration

The CPUs supported by the configuration scripts used to be
hard-coded. This was not ideal for several reasons. For example, the
configuration scripts depend on all CPU models even though only a
subset might have been compiled.

This changeset adds a new module to the configuration scripts that
automatically discovers the available CPU models from the compiled
SimObjects. As a nice bonus, the use of introspection allows us to
automatically generate a list of available CPU models suitable for
printing. This list is augmented with the Python doc string from the
underlying class if available.
