alpha,arm,mips,power,riscv,sparc,x86,isa: De-specialize ExecContexts.
The ISA parser used to generate different copies of exec functions for each exec context class a particular CPU wanted to use. That's since been changed so that those functions take a pointer to the base ExecContext, so the code which would generate those extra functions can be removed, and some functions which used to be templated on an ExecContext subclass can be untemplated, or minimally less templated.
Now that some functions aren't going to be instantiated multiple times with different signatures, there are also opportunities to collapse templates and make many instruction definitions simpler within the parser. Since those changes will be less mechanical, they're left for later changes and will probably be done in smaller increments.

arch: teach ISA parser how to split code across files
This patch encompasses several interrelated and interdependent changes to the ISA generation step. The end goal is to reduce the size of the generated compilation units for instruction execution and decoding so that batch compilation can proceed with all CPUs active without exhausting physical memory.
The ISA parser (src/arch/isa_parser.py) has been improved so that it can accept 'split [output_type];' directives at the top level of the grammar and 'split(output_type)' python calls within 'exec {{ ... }}' blocks. This has the effect of "splitting" the files into smaller compilation units. I use air-quotes around "splitting" because the files themselves are not split, but preprocessing directives are inserted to have the same effect.
Architecturally, the ISA parser has had some changes in how it works. In general, it emits code sooner. It doesn't generate per-CPU files, and instead defers to the C preprocessor to create the duplicate copies for each CPU type. Likewise there are more files emitted and the C preprocessor does more substitution that used to be done by the ISA parser.
Finally, the build system (SCons) needs to be able to cope with a dynamic list of source files coming out of the ISA parser. The changes to the SCons{cript,truct} files support this. In broad strokes, the targets requested on the command line are hidden from SCons until all the build dependencies are determined, otherwise it would try, realize it can't reach the goal, and terminate in failure. Since build steps (i.e. running the ISA parser) must be taken to determine the file list, several new build stages have been inserted at the very start of the build. First, the build dependencies from the ISA parser will be emitted to arch/$ISA/generated/inc.d, which is then read by a new SCons builder to finalize the dependencies. (Once inc.d exists, the ISA parser will not need to be run to complete this step.) Once the dependencies are known, the 'Environments' are made by the makeEnv() function. This function used to be called before the build began but now happens during the build. It is easy to see that this step is quite slow; this is a known issue and it's important to realize that it was already slow, but there was no obvious cause to attribute it to since nothing was displayed to the terminal. Since new steps that used to be performed serially are now in a potentially-parallel build phase, the pathname handling in the SCons scripts has been tightened up to deal with chdir() race conditions. In general, pathnames are computed earlier and more likely to be stored, passed around, and processed as absolute paths rather than relative paths. In the end, some of these issues had to be fixed by inserting serializing dependencies in the build.
Minor note: For the null ISA, we just provide a dummy inc.d so SCons is never compelled to try to generate it. While it seems slightly wrong to have anything in src/arch/*/generated (i.e. a non-generated 'generated' file), it's by far the simplest solution.

sparc: compilation fixes for inorder Add a few constants and functions that the InOrder model wants for SPARC. * * * sparc: add eaComp function InOrder separates the address generation from the actual access so give Sparc that functionality * * * sparc: add control flags for branches branch predictors and other cpu model functions need to know specific information about branches, so add the necessary flags here

Add a hack to truncate addresses to 32 bits in SE. Paging should be changed to use the architecture's TLB, at which point this can be removed.

Get the "hard" SPARC instructions working in o3. I don't like that the IsStoreConditional flag needs to be set for them because they aren't store conditional instructions, and I should fix the format code which is not handling the opt_flags correctly.
