Add ReadRespWithInvalidate to handle multi-level coherence situation

where we defer a response to a read from a far-away cache A, then later
defer a ReadExcl from a cache B on the same bus as us.  We'll assert
MemInhibit in both cases, but in the latter case MemInhibit will keep
the invalidation from reaching cache A.  This special response tells
cache A that it gets the block to satisfy its read, but must immediately
invalidate it.
