cpu: Made the Loop Predictor a SimObject

The Loop Predictor implementation is now a SimObject so that other branch
predictors can easily use it (including LTAGE, which is now using it).
It has also been updated with the latest
available loop predictor implementation from Andre Seznec:

They are for the following features in the LTAGE loop predictor:
- Hashing for calculating the loop table entry
- Add direction information
- Add speculative iteration number information

cpu: Fixes on the loop predictor part of LTAGE

Fixed the following fields of the loop predictor entries as described on
the LTAGE paper:
- Age counter (it was 3 bits and it should be 8 bits)
- Tag (it was 16 bits and it should be 14 bits). Also some times it used
int variables and some times uint16_t, leading to wrong behaviour
- Confidence counter (it was 2 bits ins some parts of the code and 3 bits
in some other parts. It should be 2 bits)
- Iteration counters (they were 16 bits and they should be 14 bits)
All the new sizes are now configurable
