mem: Remove unused Packet src and dest fields

This patch takes the final step in removing the src and dest fields in
the packet. These fields were rather confusing in that they only
remember a single multiplexing component, and pushed the
responsibility to the bridge and caches to store the fields in a
senderstate, thus effectively creating a stack. With the recent
changes to the crossbar response routing the crossbar is now
responsible without relying on the packet fields. Thus, these
variables are now unused and can be removed.
