Allow the number of memory channels to be picked at runtime

Browse Source 
We're building a chip with 8 memory channels.  Since this will require a
complicated test setup we want to also be able to bring up the chip with fewer
memory channels.  This commit adds a SCR that controls the number of active
memory channels on a chip.  Toggling this SCR will scramble memory and drop
Nasti messages, so it's only possible to change while the chip is booting.

By default this just adds a 1-bit SCR, which essentially no extra logic.

When multiple memory channel configurations are enabled at elaboration time, a
NastiMemoryInterconnect is generated for each channel configuration.  The
number of outstanding misses is increased to coorespond to the maximum number
of banks per memory channel (added as a parameter), which I believe is
necessary to avoid deadlock in the memory system.

A configuration is added that supports 8 memory channels but has only 1 enabled
by default.
