An extended helper takes an additional argument of the host address accessing

My feedback from the last round of review is that a version of the
helper functions that take the return address should *always* be available.
There are existing issues in the target-*/foo_helper.c files where
if a helper touches memory that we do no necessarily handle any
fault properly. This is less true of system mode than user mode,
but it's still a problem.
The helper.c files ought to be changed to use these new "ra-enabled"
routines and pass GETPC(). That way a fault from a helper gets
treated *exactly* like it would if it were called from TCG generated code.
Thus, all this conditionalization should vanish.
