mem-ruby: Allow Ruby to use all replacement policies in Classic
Add support in Ruby to use all replacement policies in Classic. Furthermore, if new replacement policies are added to the Classic system, the Ruby system will recognize new policies without any other changes in Ruby system. The following list all the major changes: * Make Ruby cache entries (AbstractCacheEntry) inherit from Classic cache entries (ReplaceableEntry). By doing this, replacement policies can use cache entries from Ruby caches. AccessPermission and print function are moved from AbstractEntry to AbstractCacheEntry, so AbstractEntry is no longer needed. * DirectoryMemory and all SLICC files are changed to use AbstractCacheEntry as their cache entry interface. So do the python files in mem/slicc/ast which check the entry interface. * "main='false'" argument is added to the protocol files where the DirectoryEntry is defined. This change helps differentiate DirectoryEntry from CacheEntry because they are both the instances of AbstractCacheEntry now. * Use BaseReplacementPolicy in Ruby caches instead of AbstractReplacementPolicy so that Ruby caches will recognize the replacement policies from Classic. * Add getLastAccess() and useOccupancy() function to Classic system so that Ruby caches can use them. Move lastTouchTick to ReplacementData struct because it's needed by getLastAccess() to return the correct value. * Add a 2-dimensional array of ReplacementData in Ruby caches to store information for different replacement policies. Note that, unlike Classic caches, where policy information is stored in cache entries, the policy information needs to be stored in a new 2-dimensional array. This is due to Ruby caches deleting the cache entry every time the corresponding cache line get evicted.
