This PR is a rework of the processor-internal bus system to make it more Wishbone-alike. The individual request signals re and we are replaced by a single request strobe (stb) and a read/write identifier (rw). This allows to simplify (in terms of hardware resources) the CPU's load-store unit as well as all the bus elements (muxes) as a only a single request signal needs to be evaluated.

Pre-PR Protocol
