mem: Transition away from isSupplyExclusive for writebacks
This patch changes how writebacks communicate whether the line is passed as modified or owned. Previously we relied on the isSupplyExclusive mechanism, which was originally designed to avoid unecessary snoops. For normal cache requests we use the sharedAsserted mechanism to determine if a block should be marked writeable or not, and with this patch we transition the writebacks to also use this mechanism. Conceptually this is cleaner and more consistent.
