mem: Minimize the use of MemObject.

MemObject doesn't provide anything beyond its base ClockedObject any
more, so this change removes it from most inheritance hierarchies.
Occasionally MemObject is replaced with SimObject when I was fairly
confident that the extra functionality of ClockedObject wasn't needed.

python: Don't assume SimObjects live in the global namespace

The importer in Python 3 doesn't like the way we import SimObjects
from the global namespace. Convert the existing SimObject declarations
to import from m5.objects. As a side-effect, this makes these files
consistent with configuration files.

mem: Add a memory delay simulator

Add a memory system component that delays traffic. The base
functionality to delay packets is implemented in the abstract MemDelay
class. This class exposes three methods that control packet delays:

* delayReq(pkt)
* delayResp(pkt)
* delaySnoopResp(pkt)

These methods should be specialized to implement delays for specific
packet types.

The class SimpleMemDelay uses the MemDelay base class to implement
constant delays for read/write requests and responses.

The intention is that these classes can be used for rapid prototyping
of components that add a small fixed delay and the same throughput as
the interconnect. I.e., any buffering done in the base class will be
small and proportional to the introduced delay.
