David Schall edf9092fee cpu: Restructure BTB
- A new abstract BTB class is created to enable different BTB
  implementations. The new BTB class gets its own parameter
  and stats.
- An enum is added to differentiate branch instruction types.
  This enum is used to enhance statistics and BPU management.
- The existing BTB is moved into `simple_btb` as default.
- An additional function is added to store the static instruction in
  the BTB. This function is used for the decoupled front-end.
- Update configs to match new BTB parameters.
