arch-arm,cpu: Add initial support for Arm SVE
This changeset adds initial support for the Arm Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) by implementing: - support for most data-processing instructions (no loads/stores yet); - basic system-level support.
Additional authors: - Javier Setoain <javier.setoain@arm.com> - Gabor Dozsa <gabor.dozsa@arm.com> - Giacomo Travaglini <giacomo.travaglini@arm.com>
Thanks to Pau Cabre for his contribution of bugfixes.

arch-arm: Add Illegal Execution flag to PCState
This patch moves the detection of the Illegal Execution flag (PSTATE.IL) from the tlb translation stage (fetch) to the decoding stage. This is done by adding the illegalExecution field to the PCState.

isa: Add parameter to pick different decoder inside ISA
The decoder is responsible for splitting instructions in micro operations (uops). Given that different micro architectures may split operations differently, this patch allows to specify which micro architecture each isa implements, so different cores in the system can split instructions differently, also decoupling uop splitting (microArch) from ISA (Arch). This is done making the decodification calls templates that receive a type 'DecoderFlavour' that maps the name of the operation to the class that implements it. This way there is only one selection point (converting the command line enum to the appropriate DecodeFeatures object). In addition, there is no explicit code replication: template instantiation hides that, and the compiler should be able to resolve a number of things at compile-time.

arm: Raise an alignment fault if a PC has illegal alignment
We currently don't handle unaligned PCs correctly. There is one check for unaligned PCs in the TLB when running in aarch64 mode, but this check does not cover cases where the CPU does not do a TLB lookup when decoding an instruction (e.g., a branch stays within the same cache line). Additionally, the Decoder class sometimes throws an assertion for unaligned PCs which breaks speculation.
This changeset introduces a decoder fault bit field in the ExtMachInst structure. This field can be used to signal a decoder failure. If set, the decoder generates an internal gem5fault instruction instead of a normal instruction. This instruction in turns either panics (fault type PANIC), returns an PCAlignmentFault (fault type UNALIGNED, aarch64) or PrefetchAbort (fault type UNALIGNED, aarch32).
The patch causes minor changes to the realview64 regressions, and a stats bump will follow.

arm: Clean up and document decoder API
This changeset adds more documentation to the ArmISA::Decoder class and restructures it slightly to make API groups more obvious.

arm: Add support for ARMv8 (AArch64 & AArch32)
Note: AArch64 and AArch32 interworking is not supported. If you use an AArch64 kernel you are restricted to AArch64 user-mode binaries. This will be addressed in a later patch.
Note: Virtualization is only supported in AArch32 mode. This will also be fixed in a later patch.

Decoder: Remove the thread context get/set from the decoder.
This interface is no longer used, and getting rid of it simplifies the decoders and code that sets up the decoders. The thread context had been used to read architectural state which was used to contextualize the instruction memory as it came in. That was changed so that the state is now sent to the decoders to keep locally if/when it changes. That's significantly more efficient.

ARM: Keep a copy of the fpscr len and stride fields in the decoder. Avoid reading them every instruction, and also eliminate the last use of the thread context in the decoders.

ISA,CPU: Generalize and split out the components of the decode cache.
This will allow it to be specialized by the ISAs. The existing caching scheme is provided by the BasicDecodeCache in the GenericISA namespace and is built from the generalized components.

CPU: Merge the predecoder and decoder.
These classes are always used together, and merging them will give the ISAs more flexibility in how they cache things and manage the process.
