cpu: dev: sim: gpu-compute: Banish some ISA specific register types.

These types are IntReg, FloatReg, FloatRegBits, and MiscReg. There are
some remaining types, specifically the vector registers and the CCReg.
I'm less familiar with these new types of registers, and so will look
at getting rid of them at some later time.

gpu-compute: fix segfault when constructing GPUExecContext

the GPUExecContext context currently stores a reference to its parent WF's
GPUISA object, however there are some special instructions that do not have
an associated WF. when these objects are constructed they set their WF pointer
to null, which causes the GPUExecContext to segfault when trying to
dereference
the WF pointer to get at the WF's GPUISA object. here we change the GPUISA
reference in the GPUExecContext class to a pointer so that it may be set to
null.

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.
