[PATCH] gdb: Prefer RISC-V register name "s0" over "fp"

The "fp" register name is an alias for "s0" which is an alias for "x8".
The "fp" name is not understood by the Binutils and thus not used by
GCC. GCC does not emit a frame pointer with common optimization options
such as -Og or -O2.
It is still possible to use the "fp" register name, e.g.
(gdb) p/x $fp
$1 = 0x800367c8
works.
However, in the register dump you see now:
(gdb) info registers
...
t2 0xffffffffffffffff 18446744073709551615
s0 0x800367c8 0x800367c8
s1 0x80033280 2147693184
...
gdb/
* riscv-tdep.c (riscv_register_aliases): Swap "fp" and "s0"
entries.
