cpu: Added 8KB and 64KB TAGE-SC-L branch predictor
The original paper of the branch predictor can be found here: http://www.jilp.org/cbp2016/paper/AndreSeznecLimited.pdf

cpu: Proposal for changing the indirect branch predictor interface
Now the indirect branch predictor handles its own GHR instead of getting the one from the direction predictor.
Also, now the commit method of the indirect predictor is called for every pending branch on an update, as the indirect predictors may want to update their interal structures/histories with the information of each branch.

cpu: Made TAGE a SimObject that can be used by other predictors
The TAGE implementation is now a SimObject so that other branch predictors can easily use it. It has also been updated with the latest available TAGE implementation from Andre Seznec:

cpu: Added new stats to TAGE and LTAGE branch predictors
They are basically used to tell wich component of the predictor is providing the prediction and whether it is correct or wrong

cpu: split LTAGE implementation into a base TAGE and a derived LTAGE
The new derived LTAGE is equivalent to the original LTAGE implementation The default values of the TAGE branch predictor match the settings of the 8C-TAGE configuration described in https://www.jilp.org/vol8/v8paper1.pdf
