mem: Add rank-wise refresh to the DRAM controller

This patch adds rank-wise refresh to the controller, as opposed to the
channel-wide refresh currently in place. In essence each rank can be
refreshed independently, and for this to be possible the controller
is extended with a state machine per rank.

Without this patch the data bus is always idle during a refresh, as
all the ranks are refreshing at the same time. With the rank-wise
refresh it is possible to use one rank while another one is
refreshing, and thus the data bus can be kept busy.

The patch introduces a Rank class to encapsulate the state per rank,
and also shifts all the relevant banks, activation tracking etc to the
rank. The arbitration is also updated to consider the state of the rank.
