Message:

Modification in vci_mem_cache:

• When a BROADCAST INVALIDATE is needed after a WRITE request, the the data from the cache is merged with the new data of the WRITE request.

Before this commit, the DATA from the cache was read in the
WRITE_DIR_LOCK state, but this creates a critical path RAM-to-RAM.
Therefore, this commit changes the state for read the data to
WRITE_BC_DIR_READ and because the synchronous behavior of the
RAMs, the data is available in the WRITE_BC_TRT_LOCK state.
