Merge tag 'pull-hex-20221216-1' of https://github.com/quic/qemu into staging

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.

12-21)
Instruction definition parser (idef-parser) from rev.ng
Parses the instruction semantics and generates TCG
