target/arm: Implement FEAT_HBC
FEAT_HBC (Hinted conditional branches) provides a new instruction BC.cond, which behaves exactly like the existing B.cond except that it provides a hint to the branch predictor about the likely behaviour of the branch. Since QEMU does not implement branch prediction, we can treat this identically to B.cond.
