For SME2, we need to expose the new ZT0 register in the gdbstub XML.
gdb documents that the requirements are:
> The ‘org.gnu.gdb.aarch64.sme2’ feature is optional. If present,
> then the ‘org.gnu.gdb.aarch64.sme’ feature must also be present.
> The ‘org.gnu.gdb.aarch64.sme2’ feature should contain the
> following:
>
> - ZT0 is a register of 512 bits (64 bytes). It is defined as a
> vector of bytes.
Implement this.

Update aarch64-core.xml to include field definitions for PSTATE, which
in gdb is modelled in the cpsr (current program status register)
pseudo-register, named after the actual cpsr register in armv7.
Defining the fields layout of the register allows easy inspection of for
example, the current exception level (EL):
For example. Before booting a Linux guest, EL=2, but after booting and
Ctrl-C'ing in gdb, we get EL=0:
(gdb) info registers $cpsr
cpsr 0x20402009 [ SP EL=2 BTYPE=0 PAN C ]
(gdb) cont

Since GDB 13.1(GDB commit ea3352172), GDB LoongArch changed to use
fcc0-7 instead of fcc register. This commit partially reverts commit
2f149c759 (`target/loongarch: Update gdb_set_fpu() and gdb_get_fpu()`)
to match the behavior of GDB.
Note that it is a breaking change for GDB 13.0 or earlier, but it is
also required for GDB 13.1 or later to work.

Both TCG and KVM emulate ckc, cputm, last_break and prefix, and it's
quite useful to have them during debugging. Right now they are grouped
together with KVM-only pp, pfault_token, pfault_select and
pfault_compare in s390-virt.xml, and are not available when debugging
TCG-emulated code.
Move KVM-only registers into the new s390-virt-kvm.xml file. Advertise
s390-virt.xml always, and the new s390-virt-kvm.xml only for KVM.

So that we can avoid the "older gdb crashes" problem described in
commit 5787d17a42 and which caused us to disable reporting pauth
information via the gdbstub, newer gdb is going to implement support
for recognizing the pauth information via a new feature name:
org.gnu.gdb.aarch64.pauth_v2
Older gdb won't recognize this feature name, so we can re-enable the
pauth support under the new name without risking them crashing.

Before this commit, there were contradictory descriptions about size of EFER
register.
Line 113 says the size is 8 bytes.
Line 129 says the size is 4 bytes.
As a result, when GDB is debugging an OS running on QEMU, the GDB cannot
read 'g' packets correctly. This 'g' packet transmits values of each
registers of machine emulated by QEMU to GDB. QEMU, the packet sender,
assign 4 bytes for EFER in 'g' packet based on the line 113.
GDB, the packet receiver, extract 8 bytes for EFER in 'g' packet based on
the line 129. Therefore, all registers located behind EFER in 'g' packet
has been shifted 4 bytes in GDB.
After this commit, GDB can read 'g' packets correctly.

The fixed register numbering in the various GDB feature files for
RISC-V only exists because these files were originally copied from the
GDB source tree.
However, the fixed numbering only exists in the GDB source tree so
that GDB, when it connects to a target that doesn't provide a target
description, will use a specific numbering scheme.
That numbering scheme is designed to be compatible with the first
versions of QEMU (for RISC-V), that didn't send a target description,
and relied on a fixed numbering scheme.
Because of the way that QEMU manages its target descriptions,
recording the number of registers in each feature, and just relying on
GDB's numbering starting from 0, then I propose that we remove all the
fixed numbering from the RISC-V feature xml files, and just rely on
the standard numbering scheme. Plenty of other targets manage their
xml files this way, e.g. ARM, AArch64, Loongarch, m68k, rx, and s390.

While testing some changes to GDB's handling for the RISC-V registers
fcsr, fflags, and frm, I spotted that QEMU includes these registers
twice in the target description it sends to GDB, once in the fpu
feature, and once in the csr feature.
Right now things basically work OK, QEMU maps these registers onto two
different register numbers, e.g. fcsr maps to both 68 and 73, and GDB
can use either of these to access the register.
However, GDB's target descriptions don't really work this way, each
register should appear just once in a target description, mapping the
register name onto the number GDB should use when accessing the
register on the target. Duplicate register names actually result in
duplicate registers on the GDB side, however, as the registers have
the same name, the user can only access one of these registers.
Currently GDB has a hack in place, specifically for RISC-V, to spot
the duplicate copies of these three registers, and hide them from the
user, ensuring the user only ever sees a single copy of each.
In this commit I propose fixing this issue on the QEMU side, and in
the process, simplify the fpu register handling a little.
I think we should, remove fflags, frm, and fcsr from the two (32-bit
and 64-bit) fpu feature xml files. These files will only contain the
32 core floating point register f0 to f31. The fflags, frm, and fcsr
registers will continue to be advertised in the csr feature as they
currently are.
With that change made, I will simplify riscv_gdb_get_fpu and
riscv_gdb_set_fpu, removing the extra handling for the 3 status
registers.

Cortex-M CPUs with MVE should advertise this fact to gdb, using the
org.gnu.gdb.arm.m-profile-mve XML feature, which defines the VPR
register. Presence of this feature also tells gdb to create
pseudo-registers Q0..Q7, so we do not need to tell gdb about them
separately.
Note that unless you have a very recent GDB that includes this fix:
http://patches-tcwg.linaro.org/patch/58133/ gdb will mis-print the
individual fields of the VPR register as zero (but showing the whole
thing as hex, eg with "print /x $vpr" will give the correct value).
