Partial cache line store in ACE protocol

Hi ash11,

Even though the operation is called "partial cache line store", it is a full cache line, which moves through the interconnect. Here is a summary of the partial cache line store example from the specification:

1. Master asks for "old" cache line with ReadUnique

2. Interconnect relays request

3. Snooped component provides the "old" cache line

4. Interconnect relays "old" cache line

5. Master performs store

Step 5 is where the cache line is partially modified.
