[PATCH v2 1/3] RISC-V/Linux/native: Determine FLEN dynamically

Fix RISC-V native Linux support to handle a 64-bit FPU (FLEN == 64) with 
both RV32 and RV64 systems, which is a part of the current Linux ABI for 
hard-float systems, rather than assuming that (FLEN == XLEN) in target 
description determination and that (FLEN == 64) in register access.

We can do better however and not rely on any particular value of FLEN 
and probe for it dynamically, by observing that the PTRACE_GETREGSET 
ptrace(2) call will only accept an exact regset size, and that will 
reflect FLEN.  Therefore iterate over the call in target description 
determination with a geometrically increasing regset size until a match 
is marked by a successful ptrace(2) call completion or we run beyond the 
maximum size we can support.

Update register accessors accordingly, using FLEN determined to size the 
buffer used for NT_PRSTATUS requests and then to exchange data with the 
regcache.

Also handle a glibc bug where ELF_NFPREG is defined in terms of NFPREG, 
however NFPREG is nowhere defined.

	gdb/
	* riscv-linux-nat.c [!NFPREG] (NFPREG): New macro.
	(supply_fpregset_regnum, fill_fpregset): Handle regset buffer 
	offsets according to FLEN determined.
	(riscv_linux_nat_target::read_description): Determine FLEN 
	dynamically.
	(riscv_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers): Size regset buffer 
	according to FLEN determined.
	(riscv_linux_nat_target::store_registers): Likewise.

Hi,

 I'm not particularly happy with the lengthy lines in `fill_fpregset' and 
`supply_fpregset_regnum' causing multiple wrapping and deep indentation, 
but technically there is nothing wrong with it, so I'll leave it to a 
later clean-up.

  Maciej

Changes from v1:

- Also set the size of the regset buffer dynamically in 
  `riscv_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers' and 
  `riscv_linux_nat_target::store_registers', and update `fill_fpregset' 
  and `supply_fpregset_regnum' accordingly.
