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.

ext: fix SST connector

The renamings in changesets 8f5993cf (2015-03-23) "mem: rename
Locked/LOCKED to LockedRMW/LOCKED_RMW" and fdd4a895 (2015-07-03)
"mem: Split WriteInvalidateReq into write and invalidate" broke the
SST connector. This commit repeats those renamings in ext/sst.

ext: Add SST connector

This patch adds a connector that allows gem5 to be used as a component
in SST (Structural Simulation Toolkit, sst-simulator.org). At a high
level, this allows memory traffic to pass between the two simulators.
SST Links are roughly analogous to gem5 Ports, although Links do not
have a notion of master and slave. This distinction is important to
gem5, so when connecting a gem5 CPU to an SST cache, an ExternalSlave
must be used, and similarly when connecting the memory side of SST cache
to a gem5 port (for memory <-> I/O), an ExternalMaster must be used.

These connectors handle the administrative aspects of gem5
(initialization, simulation, shutdown) as well as translating SST's
MemEvents into gem5 Packets and vice-versa.
