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
