That effectively increased the miss latency by 5 cycles when there was
a store hit followed by a load miss. Since pending stores are drained
when releaseInFlight, the check I removed was redundant.

tilelink: remove obsolete addr_lo signal ( #895 )
...
When we first implemented TL, we thought this was helpful, because
it made WidthWidgets stateless in all cases. However, it put too
much burden on all other masters and slaves, none of which benefitted
from this signal. Furthermore, even with addr_lo, WidthWidgets were
information lossy because when they widen, they have no information
about what to fill in the new high bits of addr_lo.

Fix BTB not being refilled on some indirect jumps
...
We are overloading the BTB-hit signal to mean that any part of the frontend
changed the control-flow, not just the BTB. That's the right thing to do for
most of the control logic, but it means the BTB sometimes won't get refilled
when we'd like it to. This commit makes the frontend use an invalid BTB entry
number when it, rather than the BTB, changes the control flow. Since the
entry number is invalid, the BTB will treat it as a miss and refill itself.
This is kind of a hack, but a more palatable fix requires reworking the RVC
IBuf, which I don't have time for right now.

tilelink: fix Fragmenter source re-use bug ( #888 )
...
Consider the following waveform for two 4-beat bursts:
---A----A------------
-------D-----DDD-DDDD
Under TL rules, the second A can use the same source as the first A,
because the source is released for reuse on the first response beat.
However, if we fragment the requests, it looks like this:
---3210-3210---------
-------3-----210-3210
... now we've broken the rules because 210 are twice inflight.
To solve this, we alternate an a.source bit every time D completes a txn.
