cpu: fix how branching is handled when a thread is suspended in MinorCPU

When a thread is suspended, all instructions after the suspension need
to be discarded since the thread will take a different execution stream
when it wakes up.

To do that, in MinorCPU, whenever a thread gets suspended, we change the
current execution stream by updating the current branch with
BranchData::SuspendThread reason.
