This avoids having a copy in the lookup function itself, and the
declaration of a lot of temporary TLB entry pointers in callers. The
gpu TLB seems to have had the most dependence on the original signature
of the lookup function, partially because it was relying on a somewhat
unsafe copy to a TLB entry using a base class pointer type.

Fold the GDBListener class into the main BaseRemoteGDB class, move
around a bunch of functions, convert a lot of internal functions to
be private, move some functions into the .cc, make some functions
non-virtual which didn't really need to be overridden.

CPUs have historically instantiated the architecture specific version
of the TLBs to avoid a virtual function call, making them a little bit
more dependent on what the current ISA is. Some simple performance
measurement, the x86 twolf regression on the atomic CPU, shows that
there isn't actually any performance benefit, and if anything the
simulator goes slightly faster (although still within margin of error)
when the TLB functions are virtual.
This change switches everything outside of the architectures themselves
to use the generic BaseTLB type, and then inside the ISA for them to
cast that to their architecture specific type to call into architecture
specific interfaces.
The ARM TLB needed the most adjustment since it was using non-standard
translation function signatures. Specifically, they all took an extra
"type" parameter which defaulted to normal, and translateTiming
returned a Fault. translateTiming actually doesn't need to return a
Fault because everywhere that consumed it just stored it into a
structure which it then deleted(?), and the fault is stored in the
Translation object when the translation is done.
A little more work is needed to fully obviate the arch/tlb.hh header,
so the TheISA::TLB type is still visible outside of the ISAs.
Specifically, the TlbEntry type is used in the generic PageTable which
lives in src/mem.

The new version modularizes the implementation of the various commands,
gets rid of dynamic allocation of the register cache, fixes some small
style problems, and uses exceptions to simplify error handling internal to
the GDB stub.

Currently, the wire format of register values in g- and G-packets is
modelled using a union of uint8/16/32/64 arrays. The offset positions
of each register are expressed as a "register count" scaled according
to the width of the register in question. This results in counter-
intuitive and error-prone "register count arithmetic", and some
formats would even be altogether unrepresentable in such model, e.g.
a 64-bit register following a 32-bit one would have a fractional index
in the regs64 array.
Another difficulty is that the array is allocated before the actual
architecture of the workload is known (and therefore before the correct
size for the array can be calculated).
With this patch I propose a simpler mechanism for expressing the
register set structure. In the new code, GdbRegCache is an abstract
class; its subclasses contain straightforward structs reflecting the
register representation. The determination whether to use e.g. the
AArch32 vs. AArch64 register set (or SPARCv8 vs SPARCv9, etc.) is made
by polymorphically dispatching getregs() to the concrete subclass.
The subclass is not instantiated until it is needed for actual
g-/G-packet processing, when the mode is already known.
This patch is not meant to be merged in on its own, because it changes
the contract between src/base/remote_gdb.* and src/arch/*/remote_gdb.*,
so as it stands right now, it would break the other architectures.
In this patch only the base and the ARM code are provided for review;
once we agree on the structure, I will provide src/arch/*/remote_gdb.*
for the other architectures; those patches could then be merged in
together.

The new single stepping implementation for x86 doesn't rely on any ISA
specific properties or functionality. This change pulls out the per ISA
implementation of those functions and promotes the X86 implementation to the
base class.
One drawback of that implementation is that the CPU might stop on an
instruction twice if it's affected by both breakpoints and single stepping.
While that might be a little surprising, it's harmless and would only happen
under somewhat unlikely circumstances.

This stub should allow remote debugging of 32 bit and 64 bit targets. Single
stepping seems to work, as do breakpoints. If both breakpoints and single
stepping affect an instruction, gdb will stop at the instruction twice before
continuing. That's a little surprising, but is generally harmless.

We should always refer to the specific ISA in that arch directory.
This is especially necessary if we're ever going to make it to the
point where we actually have heterogeneous systems.
