cpu-o3: Add support for pinned writes
This patch adds support for pinning registers for a certain number of consecutive writes. This is only relevant for timing CPU models (functional-only models are unaffected), and it is primarily needed to provide a realistic execution model for micro-coded operations whose microops can write to non-overlapping portions of a destination register, e.g. vector gather loads. In those cases, this mechanism can disable renaming for a sequence of consecutive writes, thus making the resulting execution more efficient: allocating a new physical register for each microop would introduce a read-modify-write chain of dependencies, while with these modifications the microops can write back in parallel.
Please note that this new feature is only leveraged by O3CPU for the time being.

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: 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.

cpu: Physical register structural + flat indexing
Mimic the changes done on the architectural register indexes on the physical register indexes. This is specific to the O3 model. The structure, called PhysRegId, contains a register class, a register index and a flat register index. The flat register index is kept because it is useful in some cases where the type of register is not important (dependency graph and scoreboard for example). Instead of directly using the structure, most of the code is working with a const PhysRegId* (typedef to PhysRegIdPtr). The actual PhysRegId objects are stored in the regFile.

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: add a condition-code register class
Add a third register class for condition codes, in parallel with the integer and FP classes. No ISAs use the CC class at this point though.

cpu/o3: clean up rename map and free list
Restructured rename map and free list to clean up some extraneous code and separate out common code that can be reused across different register classes (int and fp at this point). Both components now consist of a set of Simple* objects that are stand-alone rename map & free list for each class, plus a Unified* object that presents a unified interface across all register classes and then redirects accesses to the appropriate Simple* object as needed.
Moved free list initialization to PhysRegFile to better isolate knowledge of physical register index mappings to that class (and remove the need to pass a number of parameters to the free list constructor).
Causes a small change to these stats: cpu.rename.int_rename_lookups cpu.rename.fp_rename_lookups because they are now categorized on a per-operand basis rather than a per-instruction basis. That is, an instruction with mixed fp/int/misc operand types will have each operand categorized independently, where previously the lookup was categorized based on the instruction type.
