mem: Make the XBar responsible for tracking response routing
This patch removes the need for a source and destination field in the packet by shifting the onus of the tracking to the crossbar, much like a real implementation. This change in behaviour also means we no longer need a SenderState to remember the source/dest when ever we have multiple crossbars in the system. Thus, the stack that was created by the SenderState is not needed, and each crossbar locally tracks the response routing. The fields in the packet are still left behind as the RubyPort (which also acts as a crossbar) does routing based on them. In the succeeding patches the uses of the src and dest field will be removed. Combined, these patches improve the simulation performance by roughly 2%.
