RubyPort and Sequencer: Fix draining

Fix the drain functionality of the RubyPort to only call drain on child ports
during a system-wide drain process, instead of calling each time that a
ruby_hit_callback is executed.

This fixes the issue of the RubyPort ports being reawakened during the drain
simulation, possibly with work they didn't previously have to complete. If
they have new work, they may call process on the drain event that they had
not registered work for, causing an assertion failure when completing the
drain event.

Also, in RubyPort, set the drainEvent to NULL when there are no events
to be drained. If not set to NULL, the drain loop can result in stale
drainEvents used.
