mem: Use the packet delays and do not just zero them out
This patch updates the I/O devices, bridge and simple memory to take
the packet header and payload delay into account in their latency
calculations. In all cases we add the header delay, i.e. the
accumulated pipeline delay of any crossbars, and the payload delay
needed for deserialisation of any payload.
Due to the additional unknown latency contribution, the packet queue
of the simple memory is changed to use insertion sorting based on the
time stamp. Moreover, since the memory hands out exclusive (non
shared) responses, we also need to ensure ordering for reads to the
same address.
