This patch splits the two cache ports into a master (memory-side) and
slave (cpu-side) subclass of port with slightly different
functionality. For example, it is only the CPU-side port that blocks
incoming requests, and only the memory-side port that schedules send
events outside of what the transmit list dictates.
This patch simplifies the two classes by relying further on
SimpleTimingPort and also generalises the latter to better accommodate
the changes (introducing trySendTiming and scheduleSend). The
memory-side cache port overrides sendDeferredPacket to be able to not
only send responses from the transmit list, but also send requests
based on the MSHRs.
A follow on patch further simplifies the SimpleTimingPort and the
cache ports.
This patch simplifies the address-range determination mechanism and
also unifies the naming across ports and devices. It further splits
the queries for determining if a port is snooping and what address
ranges it responds to (aiming towards a separation of
cache-maintenance ports and pure memory-mapped ports). Default
behaviours are such that most ports do not have to define isSnooping,
and master ports need not implement getAddrRanges.
This patch removes the inheritance of EventManager from the ports and
moves all responsibility for event queues to the owner. Eventually the
event manager should be the interface block, which could either be the
structural owner or a subblock like a LSQ in the O3 CPU for example.
Make sure not to keep processing functional accesses
after they've been responded to.
Also use checkFunctional() return value instead of checking
packet command field where possible, mostly just for consistency.

Stats pretty much line up with old code, except:
- bug in old code included L1 latency in L2 miss time, making it too high
- UniCoherence did cache-to-cache transfers even from non-owner caches,
so occasionally the icache would get a block from the dcache not the L2
- L2 can now receive ReadExReq from L1 since L1s have coherence

sure we don't re-request bus prematurely. Use callback to
avoid calling sendRetry() recursively within recvTiming.

- factor out checkFunctional() code so it can be
called from derived classes
- use EventWrapper for sendEvent, move event handling
code from event to port where it belongs
- make sendEvent a pointer so derived classes can
override it
- replace std::pair with new class for readability
