configs, mem: MemInterface generating its own controller

We are adding a controller method to MemInterface objects making
them able to generate the appropriate memory controller.

This will bring the following benefits

a) Semplification: It will simplify MemConfig.config_mem
b) Reusability: Scripts not using config_mem
won't have to duplicate the if...else checks
c) Modularity: Users will be able to define their own
dram interfaces without needing to handle the mem_ctrl
mapping in the shared MemConfig.py module
