After some discussions on IRC, I've modified this patch a bit. If we want
to rename 'regcache_map_entry' to be less regcache-specific then I think
that might be something to do as a followup change. The main changes
relative to the v2 patch are only providing a single new function (the
one taking a frame_cache) until a caller shows up needing to use the other
function (taking the saved register array), using a typed pointer for the
regache_map_entry argument to the new function, and adding some comments to
regcache.h to note that this structure is now also used by trad_frame as
well as document the semantics when a register's "slot" in the map doesn't
match the size of a register. I've pasted it below rather than rerolling
the whole series:

Add a helper function to trad_frame to support register cache maps.
Currently, signal frame handlers require explicitly coded calls to
trad_frame_set_reg_addr() to describe the location of saved registers
within a signal frame. This change permits the regcache_map_entry
arrays used with regcache::supply_regset and regcache::collect_regset
to be used to describe a block of saved registers given an initial
address for the register block.
Some systems use the same layout for registers in core dump notes,
native register sets with ptrace(), and the register contexts saved in
signal frames. On these systems, a single register map can now be
used to describe the layout of registers in all three places.
If a register map entry's size does not match the native size of a
register, try to match the semantics used by
regcache::transfer_regset. If a register slot is too large, assume
that the register's value is stored in the first N bytes and ignore
the remaning bytes. If the register slot is smaller than the
register, assume the slot holds the low N bytes of the register's
value. Read these low N bytes from the target and zero-extend them to
generate a register value.
While here, document the semantics for both regcache::transfer_regset
and trad_frame with respect to register slot's whose size does not
match the register's size.

+ read the 'size' bytes from the stack frame and zero extend them
+ to generate the register's value.

- If 'regno' is REGCACHE_MAP_SKIP: Add 'count*size' to the current
offset.
