target/arm: Look up ARMCPRegInfo at runtime


Do not encode the pointer as a constant in the opcode stream.
This pointer is specific to the cpu that first generated the
translation, which runs into problems with both hot-pluggable
cpus and user-only threads, as cpus are removed. It's also a
potential correctness issue in the theoretical case of a
slightly-heterogenous system, because if CPU 0 generates a
TB and then CPU 1 executes it, CPU 1 will end up using CPU 0's
hash table, which might have a wrong set of registers in it.
(All our current systems are either completely homogenous,
M-profile, or have CPUs sufficiently different that they
wouldn't be sharing TBs anyway because the differences would
show up in the TB flags, so the correctness issue is only
theoretical, not practical.)

Perform the lookup in either helper_access_check_cp_reg,
or a new helper_lookup_cp_reg.
