Profiling GameBoyAdvance::frame shows that it spends way too much time idleing
on SoundController::update & Gpu::step waiting for the cycle count to
reach to the next event, Consuming cpu time for the Arm7tdmi core.
This commit changes the implementation of the main loop functions so
that the CPU will run as many cycles as possible and the peripherals
will only be updated when needed.
The is a performance improvement of roughly 50% in fps in some games!

This module is written purely and always breaks when changes are being
made into the 'core' module, so as long as I don't use it, I don't feel
like maintaining it.

Fix tons of bug and reimplemented some of the core code.
Add a neat feature for debug builds:
When the cpu "swi 0x55" instruction, a breakpoint is triggered on the
host.

This commit refactors the ioregs:
* Use bitfield crate to implement the GPU ioregs.
* IoRegs are stored in their own variables bindings (i.e, Gpu related ioregs are now fields of the Gpu struct)
- This optimize performance quiet alot from my testings - since every scanline was accessing deseralizing ioregs from sysbus. (Getting constant 59fps now)
* For now, comment out DMA model
Also, cleaned the code up to eliminate rustc warnings.

Pipeline code was unreadable up until now, this also fixes a bug:
* Some roms have illegal instructions right after branch instructions, and
the cpu would error trying to decode them because of pipelining.
