sh: speculative execution support for SH7780.

SH7780 has a speculative execution mode where it can speculatively
perform an instruction fetch for subroutine returns, this allows it
to be enabled. There are some various pitfalls associated with this
mode, so it's left as depending on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL and not
enabled by default.
