GOTO and BRA are both two cycle instructions because both force the
prefetched instruction to be discarded.  The difference, as clearly
explained in the data sheet, is that GOTO goes to a full absolute address
and takes 2 words, whereas BRA jumps to a limited range relative to the
current location and takes 1 word.
