Hexagon (target/hexagon) Use direct block chaining for direct jump/branch
Direct block chaining is documented here
https://qemu.readthedocs.io/en/latest/devel/tcg.html#direct-block-chaining
Recall that Hexagon allows packets with multiple jumps where only the
first one with a true predicate will actually jump. We can use
tcg_gen_goto_tb/tcg_gen_exit_tb when the packet contains a single
PC-relative branch or jump. If not, we use tcg_gen_lookup_and_goto_ptr.
We add the following to DisasContext in order to delay the branching
until the end of packet commit (in gen_end_tb)
branch_cond
The TCGCond condition under which the branch is taken
When branch_cond == TCG_COND_NEVER, there isn't a single
direct branch in this packet.
When branch_cond != TCG_COND_ALWAYS, the value is in
hex_branch_taken
branch_dest
The destination of the branch
