Gabe Black 213c9186de arch,cpu: Make the decoder width a property of the decoder.
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.
