arch: Add instruction size and PC set methods (#357)

Add the instruction size of a static instruction. x86 and arm decoders
add now the instruction size to the macro instruction. However, microops
are still handled by the fetch stage which is not nice.
Furthermore, we add a set method to the PC state. It allows setting a PC
state to acertain address.
Both methods are required for the decoupled front-end.
