cpu: Access src and dest reg indexes using a pointer to member.

This will eventually let subclasses provide their own appropriately
sized storage for these indexes. By using a pointer to member instead of
a regular pointer, we ensure that even if the StaticInst is copied/moved
somewhere, it will still find its indexes correctly, without any
additional performance overhead or maintenance.

Unfortunately C++ has decided that arrays with known bounds are not
convertible/compatible with arrays with unknown bounds. I've found at
least two standards proposals in various stages of acceptance which say
that that's dumb and they should change that (because it's dumb and they
should change that), but in the mean time we can get everything to
compile by using the reinterpret_cast hammer. While this is
*technically* undefined behavior, it's basically not and should be
pretty safe.
