In order to allow polymorphism of the block these two
functions have been added, and all direct status
assignments to these bits have been substituted.
We also assert that the block has been invalidated
before insertion. Then the block is validated in
the insertion.

Access latency was not being calculated properly, as it was
always assuming that for hits reads take as long as writes,
and that parallel accesses would produce the same latency
for read and write misses.
By moving the calculation to the Cache we can use the write/
read information, reduce latency variables duplication and
remove Cache dependency from Tags.
The tag lookup latency is still calculated by the Tags.

Since the tag classes are subclasses of SimObject, they inherit an
init function which does generic initialization at simulation startup
and which doesn't take any parameters. A new function was added which
does take a parameter, and which is just for doing tag specific
initialization as triggered by the base cache. These two names clashed,
and clang complained that the tag local name was hiding the SimObject
name (which it was).

ReplaceableEntry is referenced by many classes that do
not necessarily need access to the replacement policies.
Therefore, in order to allow better compilation units,
we factor it out to a new file.

Split indexing functionality from tags, so that code duplication
is reduced when adding new classes that use different indexing
policies, such as set associative, skewed associative or other
hash-based policies.
An indexing policy defines the mapping between an address' set
and its physical location. For example, a conventional set assoc
cache maps an address to all ways in a set using an immutable
function, that is, a set x is always mapped to set x. However,
skewed assoc caches map an address to a different set for each way,
using a skewing function.
FALRU has been left unmodified as it is a specialization with its
own complexity.

Replaceable entries belong to table-like structures, and therefore
they should be indexable by combining a row and a column. These,
using conventional cache nomenclature translate to sets and ways.
Make these entries aware of their sets and ways. The idea is to
make indexing policies usable by other table-like structures. In
order to do so we move sets and ways to ReplaceableEntry, which
will be the common base among table entries.

Having the blocks initialized in the constructor makes it harder
to apply inheritance in the tags classes. This patch decouples
the block initialization functionality from the constructor by
using an init() function. It also sets the parent cache.
