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.

Apply the gem5 namespace to the codebase.
Some anonymous namespaces could theoretically be removed,
but since this change's main goal was to keep conflicts
at a minimum, it was decided not to modify much the
general shape of the files.
A few missing comments of the form "// namespace X" that
occurred before the newly added "} // namespace gem5"
have been added for consistency.
std out should not be included in the gem5 namespace, so
they weren't.
ProtoMessage has not been included in the gem5 namespace,
since I'm not familiar with how proto works.
Regarding the SystemC files, although they belong to gem5,
they actually perform integration between gem5 and SystemC;
therefore, it deserved its own separate namespace.
Files that are automatically generated have been included
in the gem5 namespace.
The .isa files currently are limited to a single namespace.
This limitation should be later removed to make it easier
to accomodate a better API.
Regarding the files in util, gem5:: was prepended where
suitable. Notice that this patch was tested as much as
possible given that most of these were already not
previously compiling.

In this context, the decoder width is the number of bytes that are fed
into the decoder at once. This is frequently the same as the size of an
instruction, but in instructions with occasionally variable instruction
sizes (ARM, RISCV), or extremely variable instruction sizes (x86) there
may be no relation.
Rather than determining the amount of data to feed to the decoder based
on a MachInst type defined by each ISA, this new interface adds some new
properties to the base InstDecoder class each arch specific decoder
inherits from. These are the size of the incoming buffer, a pointer to
wherever that data should end up, and a mask for masking a PC value so
it aligns with the instruction size.
These values are filled in by a templated InstDecoder constructor which
is templated based on what would have historically been the MachInst
type.
Because the "moreBytes" method would historically accept a parameter of
type MachInst, this parameter has also been eliminated. Now, the
decoder's parent object should use the pointer and size values to fill
in the buffer moreBytes reads. Then when moreBytes is called, it just
uses the buffer without having to show what its type is externally.

This DPRINTF accesses the ExtMachInst typed machInst member of the
StaticInst class, and so is ISA dependent. Move the DPRINTF to where the
instructions are actually decoded where that type doesn't have to be
disambiguated.
Also, this change makes this DPRINTF more accurate, since microops are
not really "decoded" when they are extracted from a macroop. The process
of unpacking them to feed into the rest of the CPU should be fairly
trivial, so really they're just being retrieved. With the DPRINTF in
this new position, it will only trigger when an instruction is actually
decoded from memory.

Endianness transformation was moved from the CPU into this method,
making the "inst" parameter guest endian instead of host endian. The
emi member of the decoder was set using the betoh method, ensuring that
it was still stored in host order. Unfortunately, the "inst" parameter
was used in some places when setting up the rest of emi.
This change replaces those uses of inst with emi.

The decoder is responsible for splitting instructions in micro
operations (uops). Given that different micro architectures may split
operations differently, this patch allows to specify which micro
architecture each isa implements, so different cores in the system can
split instructions differently, also decoupling uop splitting
(microArch) from ISA (Arch). This is done making the decodification
calls templates that receive a type 'DecoderFlavour' that maps the
name of the operation to the class that implements it. This way there
is only one selection point (converting the command line enum to the
appropriate DecodeFeatures object). In addition, there is no explicit
code replication: template instantiation hides that, and the compiler
should be able to resolve a number of things at compile-time.
The changes made by the changeset 270c9a75e91f do not work well with switching
of cpus. The problem is that decoder for the old thread context holds state
that is not taken over by the new decoder.
This patch adds a takeOverFrom() function to Decoder class in each ISA. Except
for x86, functions in other ISAs are blank. For x86, the function copies state
from the old decoder to the new decoder.
This interface is no longer used, and getting rid of it simplifies the
decoders and code that sets up the decoders. The thread context had been used
to read architectural state which was used to contextualize the instruction
memory as it came in. That was changed so that the state is now sent to the
decoders to keep locally if/when it changes. That's significantly more
efficient.

This will allow it to be specialized by the ISAs. The existing caching scheme
is provided by the BasicDecodeCache in the GenericISA namespace and is built
from the generalized components.

These classes are always used together, and merging them will give the ISAs
more flexibility in how they cache things and manage the process.
