cpu, mem: Add new getSendFunctional method to the base CPU.
This returns a sendFunctional delegate references which can be used
to send functional accesses directly, or more likely when constructing
a PortProxy subclass. In those cases only the functional capabilities
of those ports are needed so there's no reason to require a full port
which supports all three protocols. Also, this removes the last
remaining use of get(Data|Inst)Port which relies on those returning
a port which supports the gem5 protocols, except the default
implementations of this new function. If a CPU doesn't have
traditional gem5 style ports, it can override this function to
do whatever other behavior is necessary and return its real ports
through get(Data|Inst)Port.
