Convert have_ptrace_getregset to a tri-state boolean
have_ptrace_getregset is a tri-state variable (-1, 0, 1), and we have
some conditions like "if (have_ptrace_getregset)", which is not correct.
I'll explain why it is not correct in the following example.  This fix
to this problem to replace the test (have_ptrace_getregset) to test
(have_ptrace_getregset == 1) or (have_ptrace_getregset == -1) etc.
However Doug thinks it hinders readability
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-05/msg00692.html so I decide
to add a new enum tribool and change have_ptrace_getregset to it, in
order to make these tests more readable.

have_ptrace_getregset is initialised to -1, and is adjusted to 0 or 1 in
$ARCH_linux_read_description according to the capability of the kernel.
However, it is possible that have_ptrace_getregset is used before it is
set to 0 or 1, which means it is still -1.  This is shown below.

PTRACE_GETREGSET command is used even GDB doesn't know whether
PTRACE_GETREGSET is supported or not.  It is wrong, but works on x86.
However it doesn't work on arm-linux if the kernel doesn't support
PTRACE_GETREGSET at all.  We'll get:
