//register base class
//the idea here is to have all registers derive from a single base class.
//this allows construction of opcodes that can take any register as input or output,
//despite the fact that behind-the-scenes, special handling is done for eg: F, AF, HL, etc.
//registers can also be chained together: eg af = 0x0000 writes both a and f.
