Implementation of a Tree-PLRU replacement policy. It is based on
the assumption that a set associative cache is used.

Replacement data is specific for each replacement policy, and thus
should be instantiated differently by each policy.
Touch() and reset() do not need to be aware of CacheBlk, as they
only update its ReplacementData.
Invalidate() makes replacement policies independent of cache blocks,
by removing the awareness of the valid state.
An inheritable base ReplaceableEntry class was created to allow usage
of replacement policies with any table-like structure.

Replacement policies (LRU, Random) are currently considered as array
indexing methods, but have completely different functionalities:
- Array indexers determine the possible locations for block allocation.
This information is used to generate replacement candidates when
conflicts happen.
- Replacement policies determine which of the replacement candidates
should be evicted to make room for new allocations.
For this reason, they were split into different classes. Advantages:
- Easier and more straightforward to implement other replacement
policies (RRIP, LFU, ARC, ...)
- Allow easier future implementation of cache organization schemes
As now we can't assure the use of sets, the previous way to create a
true LRU is not viable. Now a timestamp_bits parameter controls how
many bits are dedicated for the timestamp, and a true LRU can be
achieved through an infinite number of bits (although a few bits suffice
in practice).
