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.

arch, cpu, dev, gpu, mem, sim, python: start using getPort.

Replace the getMasterPort, getSlavePort, and getEthPort functions
with getPort, and remove extraneous mechanisms that are no longer
necessary.

arch, base, cpu, gpu, mem: Replace assert(0 or false with panic.

Neither assert(0) nor assert(false) give any hint as to why control
getting to them is bad, and their more descriptive versions,
assert(0 && "description") and assert(false && "description"), jury
rig assert to add an error message when the utility function panic()
already does that directly with better formatting options.

This change replaces that flavor of call to assert with panic, except
in the actual code which processes the formatting that panic uses (to
avoid infinitely recurring error handling), and in some *.sm files
since I don't know what rules those have to follow and don't want to
accidentaly break them.

mem: Use Packet writing functions instead of memcpy

Classes were using memcpy instead of the Packet functions
created for writing to/from the packet. This allows these
writes to be better checked and tracked.

This also fixes a bug in MemCheckerMonitor, which was using
the incorrect type for the packet pointer.

mem: Make cache terminology easier to understand

This patch changes the name of a bunch of packet flags and MSHR member
functions and variables to make the coherency protocol easier to
understand. In addition the patch adds and updates lots of
descriptions, explicitly spelling out assumptions.

The following name changes are made:

* the packet memInhibit flag is renamed to cacheResponding

* the packet sharedAsserted flag is renamed to hasSharers

* the packet NeedsExclusive attribute is renamed to NeedsWritable

* the packet isSupplyExclusive is renamed responderHadWritable

* the MSHR pendingDirty is renamed to pendingModified

The cache states, Modified, Owned, Exclusive, Shared are also called
out in the cache and MSHR code to make it easier to understand.

mem: Split port retry for all different packet classes

This patch fixes a long-standing isue with the port flow
control. Before this patch the retry mechanism was shared between all
different packet classes. As a result, a snoop response could get
stuck behind a request waiting for a retry, even if the send/recv
functions were split. This caused message-dependent deadlocks in
stress-test scenarios.

The patch splits the retry into one per packet (message) class. Thus,
sendTimingReq has a corresponding recvReqRetry, sendTimingResp has
recvRespRetry etc. Most of the changes to the code involve simply
clarifying what type of request a specific object was accepting.

The biggest change in functionality is in the cache downstream packet
queue, facing the memory. This queue was shared by requests and snoop
responses, and it is now split into two queues, each with their own
flow control, but the same physical MasterPort. These changes fixes
the previously seen deadlocks.

mem: Add MemChecker and MemCheckerMonitor

This patch adds the MemChecker and MemCheckerMonitor classes. While
MemChecker can be integrated anywhere in the system and is independent,
the most convenient usage is through the MemCheckerMonitor -- this
however, puts limitations on where the MemChecker is able to observe
read/write transactions.
