mem-ruby: allow qualifiers in SLICC functions

All parameters in functions defined within SLICC are const& by default
(except for the implicit types, e.g. TBE). This allow us to specify
if we want to pass parameters as & or const&. Default behavior is
maintained.

A use case is to allow refactoring of common code in actions that
enqueue messages. Messages can be passed as a non-const ref. to
to functions with common initialization. E.g.:

void initRequestMsg(RequestMsg & out_msg) {
  // Common msg init code
}

action(sendRequest1, ...) {
  enqueue(...) {
    initRequestMsg(out_msg);
    // Request1 specific code
  }
}

action(sendRequest2, ...) {
  enqueue(...) {
    initRequestMsg(out_msg);
    // Request2 specific code
  }
}
