python: Add mechanism to override code compiled into the exectuable
If the user sets the environment variable M5_OVERRIDE to True, then
imports that would normally find python code compiled into the executable
will instead first check in the absolute location where the code was
found during the build of the executable.  This only works for files
in the src (or extras) directories, not automatically generated files.

This is a developer feature!
