This enables back-to-back execution of integer instructions where
the first instruction writes a GPR and the second reads the same
GPR. This is done with a set of multiplexers at the start of
execute1 which enable any of the three input operands to be taken
from the output of execute1 (i.e. r.e.write_data) rather than the
input from decode2 (i.e. e_in.read_data[123]).
This also requires changes to the hazard detection and handling.
Decode2 generates a signal indicating that the GPR being written
is available for bypass, which is true for instructions that are
executed in execute1 (rather than loadstore1/dcache). The
gpr_hazard module stores this "bypassable" bit, and if the same
GPR needs to be read by a subsequent instruction, it outputs a
"use_bypass" signal rather than generating a stall. The
use_bypass signal is then latched at the output of decode2 and
passed down to execute1 to control the input multiplexer.
At the moment there is no bypass on the inputs to loadstore1, but that
is OK because all load and store instructions are marked as
single-issue.

I'm hitting an issue with the Fedora 31 version of GHDL that
appears to be fixed upstream:
control.vhdl:105:39:error: actual expression must be globally static

This stores the most common SPRs in the register file.
This includes CTR and LR and a not yet final list of others.
The register file is set to 64 entries for now. Specific types
are defined that can represent a GPR index (gpr_index_t) or
a GPR/SPR index (gspr_index_t) along with conversion functions
between the two.
On order to deal with some forms of branch updating both LR and
CTR, we introduced a delayed update of LR after a branch link.
Note: We currently stall the pipeline on such a delayed branch,
but we could avoid stalling fetch in that specific case as we
know we have a branch delay. We could also limit that to the
specific case where we need to update both CTR and LR.
This allows us to make bcreg, mtspr and mfspr pipelined. decode1
will automatically force the single issue flag on mfspr/mtspr to
a "slow" SPR.

To match our one stage execute.
This might change back if we end up adding 2 stages to match the
LSU, but in that case we'll want forwards as well.

Anything that isn't a load or store and anything that doesn't read the
CR can go as soon as its inputs are ready.
While we could also allow SPR read/write and carry read/write, we plan
to change them to be read in decode2 and written in writeback soon and
they will need separate hazard detection to be added.

Check GPRs against any writers in the pipeline.
All instructions are still marked single in pipeline at
this stage.
