mem: Do not use sender state to track forwarded snoops in cache

This patch changes how the cache tracks which snoops are forwarded,
and which ones are created locally. Previously the identification was
based on an empty sender state of a specific class, but this method
fails to distinguish which cache actually attached the sender
state. Instead we use the same mechanism as the crossbar, and keep
track of the requests that have outstanding snoops.
