mem: Rework the structuring of the prefetchers
Re-organizes the prefetcher class structure. Previously the BasePrefetcher forced multiple assumptions on the prefetchers that inherited from it. This patch makes the BasePrefetcher class truly representative of base functionality. For example, the base class no longer enforces FIFO order. Instead, prefetchers with FIFO requests (like the existing stride and tagged prefetchers) now inherit from a new QueuedPrefetcher base class. Finally, the stride-based prefetcher now assumes a custimizable lookup table (sets/ways) rather than the previous fully associative structure.
