Add unit test to gdbarch methods register_to_value and value_to_register

This patch adds one unit test for gdbarch methods register_to_value and
value_to_register.  The test pass different combinations of {regnu, type}
to gdbarch_register_to_value and gdbarch_value_to_register.  In order
to do the test, add a new function create_new_frame to create a fake
frame.  It can be improved after we converted frame_info to class.

In order to isolate regcache (from target_ops operations on writing
registers, like target_store_registers), the sub-class of regcache in the
test override raw_write.  Also, in order to get the right regcache from
get_thread_arch_aspace_regcache, the sub-class of regcache inserts itself
to current_regcache.

Suppose I incorrectly modified the size of buffer as below,

build GDB with "-fsanitize=address" and run unittest.exp, asan can detect
such error

Or, even if GDB is not built with asan, GDB just crashes.
