mem: DRAMPower trace output

This patch adds a DRAMPower flag to enable off-line DRAM power
analysis using the DRAMPower tool. A new DRAMPower flag is added
and a follow-on patch adds a Python script to post-process the output
and order it based on time stamps.

The long-term goal is to link DRAMPower as a library and provide the
commands through function calls to the model rather than first
printing and then parsing the commands. At the moment it is also up to
the user to ensure that the same DRAM configuration is used by the
gem5 controller model and DRAMPower.
