mem-cache: Add multi-prefetcher adaptor

This patch adds a meta-prefetcher that enables gem5's cache models to
connect to multiple prefetchers. Sub-prefetchers still use the
probes-based interface and training can be controlled
independently. However, when the cache requests a prefetch packet, the
adaptor traverses the priority list of prefetchers and uses the first
prefetcher that is able to generate a prefetch.

Kudos to Mitch Hayenga for the original version of this patch.
