[PATCH v3 2/2] gdb: Support stepping out from signal handler on riscv*-linux

Currently, gdb cannot step outside of a signal handler on RISC-V
platforms.  This causes multiple failures in gdb.base/sigstep.exp:

	FAIL: gdb.base/sigstep.exp: continue to handler, nothing in handler, step from handler: leave handler (timeout)
	FAIL: gdb.base/sigstep.exp: continue to handler, si+advance in handler, step from handler: leave handler (timeout)
	FAIL: gdb.base/sigstep.exp: continue to handler, nothing in handler, next from handler: leave handler (timeout)
	FAIL: gdb.base/sigstep.exp: continue to handler, si+advance in handler, next from handler: leave handler (timeout)
	FAIL: gdb.base/sigstep.exp: stepi from handleri: leave signal trampoline
	FAIL: gdb.base/sigstep.exp: nexti from handleri: leave signal trampoline

	                === gdb Summary ===

	# of expected passes            587
	# of unexpected failures        6

This patch adds support for stepping outside of a signal handler on
riscv*-*-linux*.

Implementation is heavily inspired from mips_linux_syscall_next_pc and
surroundings as advised by Pedro Alves.

After this patch, all tests in gdb.base/sigstep.exp pass.

Build and tested on riscv64-linux-gnu.
