[PATCH] Introduce in_inclusive_range, fix -Wtautological-compare warnings

When compiling with clang or gcc 8, we see warnings like this:

/home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/arm-tdep.c:10013:13: error: comparison of 0 <= unsigned expression is always true [-Werror,-Wtautological-compare]
      if (0 <= insn_op1 && 3 >= insn_op1)
          ~ ^  ~~~~~~~~
/home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/arm-tdep.c:11722:20: error: comparison of unsigned expression >= 0 is always true [-Werror,-Wtautological-compare]
      else if (opB >= 0 && opB <= 2)
               ~~~ ^  ~

This is because an unsigned integer (opB in this case) will always be >=
0.  It is still useful to keep both bounds of the range in the
expression, even if one is at the edge of the data type range.  This
patch introduces a utility function in_inclusive_range that gets rid of
the warning while conveying that we are checking for a range.

Tested by rebuilding.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* common/common-utils.h (in_inclusive_range): New function.
	* arm-tdep.c (arm_record_extension_space): Use
	in_inclusive_range.
	* cris-tdep.c (cris_spec_reg_applicable): Use
	in_inclusive_range.
