mem: Add predecessor to SenderState base class

This patch adds a predecessor field to the SenderState base class to
make the process of linking them up more uniform, and enable a
traversal of the stack without knowing the specific type of the
subclasses.

There are a number of simplifications done as part of changing the
SenderState, particularly in the RubyTest.

All regressions passing (excluding t1000 and rio)
