[PATCH] RISC-V: enable have_nonsteppable_watchpoint by default

The RISC-V debug spec 0.13 recommends that write triggers fire before
the write is committed. If the target follows this behaviour, then
have_nonsteppable_watchpoint needs to be set to 1 so that GDB will step
over the watchpoint before checking if the value has changed.
This patch adds a setshow for have_nonsteppable_watchpoint which defaults
to 1 to match the recommended behaviour. If a target does not follow
this timing, then 'set riscv have_nonsteppable_watchpoint 0' will need
to be issued on the command line.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* riscv-tdep.c (set_have_nonsteppable_watchpoint): add
callback for 'set riscv have_nonsteppable_watchpoint'
(riscv_gdbarch_init): initialise gdbarch setting for
have_nonesteppable_watchpoint
