[otbn] Make an explicit class to represent OTBN's dmem in the ISS

The main motivation here was to make sure we always dumped the right
number of bytes when dumping dmem from the stepped simulator. However,
this patch lets us clean up several other things:

  - We no longer inherit from riscvmodel.State. We were doing that,
    and then promptly overriding several attributes (and calling some
    non-existant methods!). It turns out that we weren't actually
    getting much from the subclass, so it makes more sense just to
    inline it.

  - As a result, we can call the thing representing DMEM by the name
    "dmem" rather than "memory", which is nice.

  - We now get to be explicit about how things are stored in
    memory (as 256-bit unsigned integers). This matches how the wide
    register file works, so should be a bit more efficient than what
    we had.

  - And, of course, everything now has mypy annotations, which makes
    the linting check a bit stricter.

  - In the spirit of being explicit, we get rid of pc_update and the
    magic that was in State.__setattr__, instead defining pc_next.
    This is either None or an integer; the latter meaning to redirect
    the PC.

About the project

OpenTitan is an open source silicon Root of Trust (RoT) project. OpenTitan will make the silicon RoT design and implementation more transparent, trustworthy, and secure for enterprises, platform providers, and chip manufacturers. OpenTitan is administered by lowRISC CIC as a collaborative project to produce high quality, open IP for instantiation as a full-featured product. See the OpenTitan site and OpenTitan docs for more information about the project.
