Param: Transition to Cycles for relevant parameters

This patch is a first step to using Cycles as a parameter type. The
main affected modules are the CPUs and the Ruby caches. There are
definitely plenty more places that are affected, but this patch serves
as a starting point to making the transition.

An important part of this patch is to actually enable parameters to be
specified as Param.Cycles which involves some changes to params.py.
