mem-ruby: Allow same-cycle enqueue
Messages may be enqueued and be ready in the same cycle.
Using this feature may introduce nondeterminism in the protocol and
should be used in specific cases. A case study is to avoid needing an
additional cycle for internal protocol triggers (e.g. the All_Acks
event in src/mem/ruby/protocol/MOESI_CMP_directory-L2cache.sm).
To mitigate modeling mistakes, the 'allow_zero_latency' parameter must
be set for a MessageBuffer where this behavior is acceptable.
This changes also updates the Consumer to schedule events according to
this new behavior. The original implementation would not schedule a new
wakeup event if the wakeup for the Consumer had already been executed
in that cycle.
