cpu: Allow creation of traffic gen from generic SimObjects

This patch allows to instantiate a Traffic generator starting from a
generic SimObject, so that linking to a BaseTrafficGen only is no longer
mandatory. This permits SimObjects different than a BaseTrafficGen to
instantiate generators and to manually specify the MasterID they
will be using when generating memory requests.

misc: Using smart pointers for memory Requests

This patch is changing the underlying type for RequestPtr from Request*
to shared_ptr<Request>. Having memory requests being managed by smart
pointers will simplify the code; it will also prevent memory leakage and
dangling pointers.

misc: Substitute pointer to Request with aliased RequestPtr

Every usage of Request* in the code has been replaced with the
RequestPtr alias. This is a preparing patch for when RequestPtr will be
the typdefed to a smart pointer to Request rather then a raw pointer to
Request.
