arch,cpu: Add vector predicate registers
Latest-gen. vector/SIMD extensions, including the Arm Scalable Vector Extension (SVE), introduce the notion of a predicate register file. This changeset adds this feature across architectures and CPU models.

cpu: Add VecElem entries in MinorCPU Scoreboard
This patch is: * Increasing the number of bits in the Scoreboard so that it is keeping track of VecElemClass dependencies. * Fixing VecElemClass entry in the scoreboard table so that it correctly uses flatIndex rather than index.

cpu: Added interface for vector reg file
This patch adds some more functionality to the cpu model and the arch to interface with the vector register file.
This change consists mainly of augmenting ThreadContexts and ExecContexts with calls to get/set full vectors, underlying microarchitectural elements or lanes. Those are meant to interface with the vector register file. All classes that implement this interface also get an appropriate implementation.
This requires implementing the vector register file for the different models using the VecRegContainer class.
This change set also updates the Result abstraction to contemplate the possibility of having a vector as result.
The changes also affect how the remote_gdb connection works.
There are some (nasty) side effects, such as the need to define dummy numPhysVecRegs parameter values for architectures that do not implement vector extensions.
Nathanael Premillieu's work with an increasing number of fixes and improvements of mine.

cpu: Simplify the rename interface and use RegId
With the hierarchical RegId there are a lot of functions that are redundant now.
The idea behind the simplification is that instead of having the regId, telling which kind of register read/write/rename/lookup/etc. and then the function panic_if'ing if the regId is not of the appropriate type, we provide an interface that decides what kind of register to read depending on the register type of the given regId.

arch, cpu: Architectural Register structural indexing
Replace the unified register mapping with a structure associating a class and an index. It is now much easier to know which class of register the index is referring to. Also, when adding a new class there is no need to modify existing ones.

cpu: implements vector registers
This adds a vector register type. The type is defined as a std::array of a fixed number of uint64_ts. The isa_parser.py has been modified to parse vector register operands and generate the required code. Different cpus have vector register files now.

cpu: `Minor' in-order CPU model
This patch contains a new CPU model named `Minor'. Minor models a four stage in-order execution pipeline (fetch lines, decompose into macroops, decompose macroops into microops, execute).
The model was developed to support the ARM ISA but should be fixable to support all the remaining gem5 ISAs. It currently also works for Alpha, and regressions are included for ARM and Alpha (including Linux boot).
Documentation for the model can be found in src/doc/inside-minor.doxygen and its internal operations can be visualised using the Minorview tool utils/minorview.py.
Minor was designed to be fairly simple and not to engage in a lot of instruction annotation. As such, it currently has very few gathered stats and may lack other gem5 features.
Minor is faster than the o3 model. Sample results:
Benchmark | Stat host_seconds (s) ---------------+--------v--------v-------- (on ARM, opt) | simple | o3 | minor | timing | timing | timing ---------------+--------+--------+-------- 10.linux-boot | 169 | 1883 | 1075 10.mcf | 117 | 967 | 491 20.parser | 668 | 6315 | 3146 30.eon | 542 | 3413 | 2414 40.perlbmk | 2339 | 20905 | 11532 50.vortex | 122 | 1094 | 588 60.bzip2 | 2045 | 18061 | 9662 70.twolf | 207 | 2736 | 1036
