---------------------------
cpu: Make the generators usable outside the TrafficGen module

This patch enables the use of the generator behaviours outside the
TrafficGen module. This is useful e.g. to allow packet replay modes
for other devices in the system without having to replace them with a
TrafficGen in the configuration files.

This change also enables more specific behaviours to be composed as
specific modules, e.g. BaseBandModem can use a number of generators
and have application-specific parameters based around a specific set
of generators.
All regressions pass
