cpu: Added interface for vector reg file

This patch adds some more functionality to the cpu model and the arch to
interface with the vector register file.

This change consists mainly of augmenting ThreadContexts and ExecContexts
with calls to get/set full vectors, underlying microarchitectural elements
or lanes. Those are meant to interface with the vector register file. All
classes that implement this interface also get an appropriate implementation.

This requires implementing the vector register file for the different
models using the VecRegContainer class.

This change set also updates the Result abstraction to contemplate the
possibility of having a vector as result.

The changes also affect how the remote_gdb connection works.

There are some (nasty) side effects, such as the need to define dummy
numPhysVecRegs parameter values for architectures that do not implement
vector extensions.

Nathanael Premillieu's work with an increasing number of fixes and
improvements of mine.
