cpu: Implement a flat register interface in thread contexts

Some architectures map registers differently depending on their mode
of operations. There is currently no architecture independent way of
accessing all registers. This patch introduces a flat register
interface to the ThreadContext class. This interface is useful, for
example, when serializing or copying thread contexts.
