cpu: Unify SimpleCPU and O3 CPU serialization code

The O3 CPU used to copy its thread context to a SimpleThread in order
to do serialization. This was a bit of a hack involving two static
SimpleThread instances and a magic constructor that was only used by
the O3 CPU.

This patch moves the ThreadContext serialization code into two global
procedures that, in addition to the normal serialization parameters,
take a ThreadContext reference as a parameter. This allows us to reuse
the serialization code in all ThreadContext implementations.
