Move the instDone flag, and the instReady function which was
consistently implemented just to return it, to the base InstDecoder
class. This flag can still be accessed easily from the subclasses, but
now it can be retrieved with just an InstDecoder pointer without a
virtual function call.

Most of the time, the type pointed to by a PCState pointer or reference
will be the same as all the others, if not nullptr.
This change adds a set of "set" functions which assume that the
underlying type of each pointer or reference are the same, and handles
casting, copying things over, creating a new copy, etc, for you. It uses
a new "update" virtual method on PCState subclasses which casts the
source to the same type as the destination and copies values over.
Note that the "set" function doesn't actually verify that the two types
are the same, just like the overloaded ==, != and << operators. In the
future, those checks can be added for debugging purposes, probably
guarded by a configuration variable which can be toggled on or off to
get better performance or more thorough error checking.
The main advantage of these wrappers are that they allows consistent
semantics whether your moving a value from a pointer, or from a yet
unconverted PCState subclass, or vice versa, which will be particularly
helpful while transitioning between using raw PCState instances and
using primarily pointers and references.
This change also adds wrappers which handle std::unique_ptr, which makes
it easier to use them as arguments to these functions. Otherwise, if the
std::unique_ptr is a temporary value, using the return value of .get()
will let the std::unique_ptr go out of scope, making it delete the data
pointed to by the returned pointed. By keeping the std::unique_ptr
around on the stack, that prevents it from going out of scope.

This method is the seed which creates a new PCState object of the
appropriate type. It can be used to initialize PCStateBase *s so that they
always point to something valid and can be manipulated without having to
first check if there's something there, as opposed to the alternative
where a pointer might be null until it's first pointed at something.

Introduce a virtual output() method which prints the current PCState to
the given output stream, and define an overload for << to use that
method. This will make it possible to print a PCState without knowing
what the actual type is.

Also move up the accessors for them. By putting the storage in the base
class, we can keep the accessors non-virtual and keep their overhead
low. Subclasses will be free to set those values to whatever they want
with no overhead, just as if they were natively part of that class.

This will let callers create a separate copy of a PCState class
instance. This makes it more explicit when creating copies of a PCState
to make sure the programmer is more aware, and avoids having to know
what the actual type is to make a copy.

These helpers will make it easier to cast a PCStatePtr into an ISA
specific class with less syntactic fluff. They are currently implemented
with a static_cast for performance reasons, but could be implemented
with a dynamic_cast and an assert for extra debugging if you were
willing to pay the performance overhead. In the future this might be
switched/enabled as an extra debugging mode, like how locking can have
extra checks enabled in the Linux kernel.

This class has a lot of common functionality which all PCState classes
use, but in order to make it a true base class which provides the
complete interface for PCState-s throughout gem5, all its methods would
need to become virtual. That doesn't have to be the case today because
we use the literal full ISA specific PC class directly, but we need to
move away from that.
This change leaves PCStateBase empty, since we don't know what will need
to be accessible in base classes through a common/virtual interface.
Also, move methods which do not depend on the InstWidth template
parameter out of SimplePCState and into PCStateCommon. This avoids
having duplicate methods with the same contents which don't depend on
InstWidth.

This simplifies the O3 CPU, and removes special cases around how vector
registers are handled. Now ARM is responsible for maintaining its
different register personalities internally.
Also, this re-establishes the invariant that registers are indexed as
complete, opaque entities with no internal structure, at least as far as
the CPU is concerned.
To make sure the KVM CPU sees the correct state, we need to sync over
the vector registers if we're in 32 bit mode when moving state to or
from gem5's ThreadContext.

This translation generator is returned by the new version of the
TranslateFunctional method which translates a region rather than a
single address. That method is currently virtual with a default
implementation which is not overloaded, but the plan is for the other
MMUs to override that method and inject their own page size minimally.
In the future, the MMUTranslationGen class and the implementations in
the MMUs may be updated so that they can, for instance, handle varying
page sizes across a single translation.

Turn the functions within it into virtual methods on the ISA classes.
Eliminate the implementation in MIPS, which was just copy pasted from
Alpha long ago. Fix some minor style issues in ARM. Remove templating.
Switch from using an "XC" type parameter to using the ThreadContext *
installed in all ISA classes.
The ARM version of these functions actually depend on the ExecContext
delaying writes to MiscRegs to work correctly. More insiduously than
that, they also depend on the conicidental ThreadContext like
availability of certain functions like contextId and getCpuPtr which
come from the class which happened to implement the type passed into XC.
To accomodate that, those functions need both a real ThreadContext, and
another object which is either an ExecContext or a ThreadContext
depending on how the method is called.

The ISAs we support today mostly have a micropc, whether that's used
very heavily like on x86, or sparsely like on ARM, RISCV or SPARC. Only
MIPS and POWER don't currently use a micropc, and neither of those is
performance tuned to the point where adding some size to the PC object
should make a meaningful difference.
Because most ISAs already have a micropc anyway, and some minimal part
of managing the micropc has to be part of the guaranteed interface so
that the CPUs can work, it's a small step to make the micropc more
completely part of the base class.
This change also makes uReset part of the guaranteed interface so we can
get rid of an #if THE_ISA == in the minor CPU.

It is possible from the MMU to traverse the entire hierarchy of
TLBs, starting from the DTB and ITB (generally speaking from the
first level) up to the last level via the nextLevel pointer. So
in theory no extra data should be stored in the BaseMMU.
This design makes some operations a bit more complex. For example
if we have a unified (I+D) L2, it will be pointed by both ITB and
DTB. If we want to invalidate all TLB entries, we should be
careful to not invalidate L2 twice, but if we simply follow the
next level pointer, we might do so. This is not a problem from
a functional perspective but alters the TLB statistics (a single
invalidation is recorded twice)
We then provide a different view of the set of TLBs in the system.
At the init phase we traverse the TLB hierarchy and we add every
TLB to the appropriate set. This makes invalidation (and any
operation targeting a specific kind of TLBs) easier.

The proxies are not used on the critical path, and it's usually implicit
whether they should be the FS or SE version.
Ideally in the future we won't need to worry about which version we need

occasionally we need to decide between the two.
