arch: Add some helpers to make it easier to cast PCState.
These helpers will make it easier to cast a PCStatePtr into an ISA
specific class with less syntactic fluff. They are currently implemented
with a static_cast for performance reasons, but could be implemented
with a dynamic_cast and an assert for extra debugging if you were
willing to pay the performance overhead. In the future this might be
switched/enabled as an extra debugging mode, like how locking can have
extra checks enabled in the Linux kernel.
