MIPS/gdbserver: Fix issues with $zero register reads

Consistently supply hardwired $zero as a zeroed register, correcting
issues with the PTRACE_GETREGS path that currently copies the value of
$restart into $zero as illustrated by this program:

$ cat read.c

int
main (void)
{
  char buf[1024];
  ssize_t size;

  size = read (0, buf, sizeof (buf));

  return size;
}
$

and this corresponding debug session:

(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x120000970: file read.c, line 9.

and (under certain circumstances):

(gdb) next
Register 0 is not available
(gdb)

The problem with PTRACE_GETREGS happens because `mips_store_gregset'
supplies the contents of register slot #0, occupied by $restart, to
$zero.  The problem with PTRACE_PEEKUSR happens because for $zero
`mips_cannot_fetch_register' returns one, and no alternative way to
supply that register has been defined.

Correct `mips_store_gregset' then for the PTRACE_GETREGS case and add
`mips_fetch_register' for the PTRACE_PEEKUSR case.

	gdb/gdbserver/
	* linux-mips-low.c (mips_fetch_register): New function.  Update
	preceding comment.
	(mips_store_gregset): Supply 0 rather than $restart for $zero.
	(the_low_target): Wire `mips_fetch_register'.
