sim: invert sim_state storage
Currently all ports have to declare sim_state themselves in their sim-main.h and then embed the common sim_state_base & sim_cpu in it. This dynamic makes it impossible to share common object code among multiple ports because the core data structure is always different. Let's invert this relationship: common code declares sim_state, and if the port actually needs state on a per-instance basis, it can use the new arch_data field for it. Most ports don't actually use it, so they don't need to declare anything at all. This is the first in a series of changes: it adds a define to select between the old & new layouts, then converts all the ports that don't need custom state over to the new layout.
