base: Add classes that encapsulate a channel address

There are cases where the memory system needs to reason about
channel-local addresses. These are currently represented using the
Addr and AddrRange classes. This is not ideal since it doesn't provide
any type safety when working with global addresses and channel-local
addresses. This is particularly problematic when porting existing
components to work in multi-channel configurations.

This changeset introduces the new ChannelAddr and ChannelAddrRange
classes. These classes encapsulate channel-local addresses in a
contiguous address space. These can, for example, be used in a memory
controller to represent a flat address space when calculating timings
or in a sectored cache.
