misc: Using smart pointers for memory Requests

This patch is changing the underlying type for RequestPtr from Request*
to shared_ptr<Request>. Having memory requests being managed by smart
pointers will simplify the code; it will also prevent memory leakage and
dangling pointers.

misc: Substitute pointer to Request with aliased RequestPtr

Every usage of Request* in the code has been replaced with the
RequestPtr alias. This is a preparing patch for when RequestPtr will be
the typdefed to a smart pointer to Request rather then a raw pointer to
Request.

gpu-compute, hsail: make the PC a byte address, not an instruction index

currently the PC is incremented on an instruction granularity, and not as an
instruction's byte address. machine ISA instructions assume the PC is a byte
address, and is incremented accordingly. here we make the GPU model, and the
HSAIL instructions treat the PC as a byte address as well.

gpu-compute: add gpu_isa.hh to switch hdrs, add GPUISA to WF

the GPUISA class is meant to encapsulate any ISA-specific behavior - special
register accesses, isa-specific WF/kernel state, etc. - in a generic enough
way so that it may be used in ISA-agnostic code.

gpu-compute: use the GPUISA object to advance the PC

the GPU model treats the PC as a pointer to individual instruction objects -
which are store in a contiguous array - and not a byte address to be fetched
from the real memory system. this is ok for HSAIL because all instructions
are considered by the model to be the same size.

in machine ISA, however, instructions may be 32b or 64b, and branches are
calculated by advancing the PC by the number of words (4 byte chunks) it
needs to advance in the real instruction stream. because of this there is
a mismatch between the PC we use to index into the instruction array, and
the actual byte address PC the ISA expects. here we move the PC advance
calculation to the ISA so that differences in the instrucion sizes may be
accounted for in generic way.
