target-sh4: improve TLB

SH4 is using 16-bit instructions which means most of the constants are
loaded through a constant pool at the end of the subroutine. The same
memory page is therefore accessed in exec and read mode.

With the current implementation, a QEMU TLB entry is set to read or
read/write mode after an UTLB search and to exec mode after an ITLB
search, which causes a lot of TLB exceptions to switch from read or
read/write to exec and vice versa.

This patch optimizes that by already setting the QEMU TLB entry in read
or read/write mode when an UTLB entry is copied into ITLB (during an
ITLB miss). This improve the emulation speed by about 14%.
