Add a getter and a setter function to access CacheBlk::whenReady
to encapsulate the variable and allow error checking. This error
checking consists on verifying that writes to a block after it
has been inserted follow a chronological order.
As a side effect, tickInserted retain its value until updated,
that is, it is not reset in invalidate().

Neither assert(0) nor assert(false) give any hint as to why control
getting to them is bad, and their more descriptive versions,
assert(0 && "description") and assert(false && "description"), jury
rig assert to add an error message when the utility function panic()
already does that directly with better formatting options.
This change replaces that flavor of call to assert with panic, except
in the actual code which processes the formatting that panic uses (to
avoid infinitely recurring error handling), and in some *.sm files
since I don't know what rules those have to follow and don't want to
accidentaly break them.

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).

Enable the cache to detect contiguous writes and hold on to the MSHR
long enough to allow the entire line to be written. If the whole line
is written, the MSHR will be sent out as an invalidation requests, as
it is part of a whole-line write, i.e. no-fetch-on-write.
The cache is also able to switch to a write-no-allocate policy on the
actual completion of the writes, and instead use the tempBlock and
turn the write operation into a writeback.
These policies are all well-known, and described in works such as
Jouppi, Cache Write Policies and Performance, vol 21, no 2, ACM, 1993.

the sets, therefore there is no need to use this class anymore.
BlkType has been removed, as it wasn't being used.

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.

Use possible locations to find block to make it placement policy
independent.

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.
