mem: Add probe support to the CommMonitor

This changeset adds a standardized probe point type to monitor packets
in the memory system and adds two probe points to the CommMonitor
class. These probe points enable monitoring of successfully delivered
requests and successfully delivered responses.

Memory system probe listeners should use the BaseMemProbe base class
to provide a unified configuration interface and reuse listener
registration code. Unlike the ProbeListenerObject class, the
BaseMemProbe allows objects to be wired to multiple ProbeManager
instances as long as they use the same probe point name.

+ * Packet probe point
+ *
+ * This probe point provides a unified interface for components that
+ * want to instrument Packets in the memory system. Components should
+ * when possible adhere to the following naming scheme:
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *
+ *   <li>PktRequest: Requests sent out on the memory side of a normal
+ *       components and incoming requests for memories. Packets should
+ *       not be duplicated (i.e., a packet should only appear once
+ *       irrespective of the receiving end requesting a retry).
+ *
+ *   <li>PktResponse: Response received from the memory side of a
+ *       normal component or a response being sent out from a memory.
+ *
+ *   <li>PktRequestCPU: Incoming, accepted, memory request on the CPU
+ *       side of a two-sided component. This probe point is primarily
+ *       intended for components that cache or forward requests (e.g.,
+ *       caches and XBars), single-sided components should use
+ *       PktRequest instead. The probe point should only be called
+ *       when a packet is accepted.
+ *
+ *   <li>PktResponseCPU: Outgoing response memory request on the CPU
+ *       side of a two-sided component. This probe point is primarily
+ *       intended for components that cache or forward requests (e.g.,
+ *       caches and XBars), single-sided components should use
+ *       PktRequest instead.
+ *
+ * </ul>
