1)
Performance improvement
Add pkt and insn to DisasContext
Many functions need information from all 3 structures, so merge
them together.

2)
Bug fix
Fix predicated assignment to .tmp and .cur


3)
Performance improvement
Add overrides for S2_asr_r_r_sat/S2_asl_r_r_sat
These functions will not be handled by idef-parser

4-11)
The final 8 patches improve change-of-flow handling.

Currently, we set the PC to a new address before exiting a TB.  The
ultimate goal is to use direct block chaining.  However, several steps
are needed along the way.

4)
When a packet has more than one change-of-flow (COF) instruction, only
the first one taken is considered.  The runtime bookkeeping is only
needed when there is more than one COF instruction in a packet.

5, 6)
Remove PC and next_PC from the runtime state and always use a
translation-time constant.  Note that next_PC is used by call instructions
to set LR and by conditional COF instructions to set the fall-through
address.

7, 8, 9)
Add helper overrides for COF instructions.  In particular, we must
distinguish those that use a PC-relative address for the destination.
These are candidates for direct block chaining later.

10)
Use direct block chaining for packets that have a single PC-relative
COF instruction.  Instead of generating the code while processing the
instruction, we record the effect in DisasContext and generate the code
during gen_end_tb.

11)
Use direct block chaining for tight loops.  We look for TBs that end
with an endloop0 that will branch back to the TB start address.


**** Changes in V3 ****
Merge previously emailed patches into single series
Merge functions that check if vreg is preloaded

**** Changes in V2 ****
Update test case to use both true and false predicates
Add fix for .cur
Simplify test in need_pkt_has_multi_cof
Address feedback from Matheus Tavares Bernardino <quic_mathbern@quicinc.com>
    Rearrange new-value-jump overrides
    Simplify gen_write_new_pc_addr
