Mahmoud Mandour e2c5557ce1 plugins: Added a new cache modelling plugin
Added a cache modelling plugin that uses a static configuration used in
many of the commercial microprocessors and uses random eviction policy.

The purpose of the plugin is to identify the most cache-thrashing
instructions for both instruction cache and data cache.
