This hack was introduced in issue#287 which later becomes endless maintainance pain.
=====
Our previous check_exit_request use `brcond` in the middle of a TranslationBlock which
breaks the assumptions and thus a hack to liveness_pass_1 is used for _all_ brcond instructions
which causes issues for MIPS and many other scenarios.
=====
This patch also resolves PC not sync-ed when no memory hooks are installed, finally. Now
Unicorn will always have correct PC no matter what happens.
* optimize ram block handling
Save the last element of the ram_list. This allows to
faster find where to add new elements when they are not
bigger then page size.
* save ram_list freed
this keeps the optimization for find_ram_offset() intact after snapshot
restore.
* cow only clear the tlb of affected pages
* update flatview when possible
Building each flatview new when the memory has changed is quite
expensive when many MemoryRegions are used. This is an issue when using
snapshots.
* update benchmark for new api
* save flatview in context
this avoids rebuilding the flatview when restore a context.
* init context flatview with zero
* address_space_dispatch_clear remove subpage with higher priority
* docutemnt the options for UC_CTL_CONTEXT_MODE
Specialy stress that with UC_CTL_CONTEXT_MEMORY it is not possible to
use the context with a different unicorn object.
Every store would always cause the tb_invalidate_phys_page_fast path to be invoked,
amounting to a 40x slowdown of stores compared to loads.
Change this code to only worry about TB invalidation for regions marked as
executable (i.e. emulated executable).
Even without uc_set_native_thunks, this change fixes most of the performance
issues seen with thunking to native calls.

Uses Copy on Write to make it posible to restore the memory state after a snapshot
was made. To restore all MemoryRegions created after the snapshot are removed.
