[PUSHED 6/8] gdbserver: rename regcache's registers_valid to registers_fetched

The registers_valid field of the regcache struct is used for tracking
whether we have attempted to fetch all the registers from the target.
Its name does not reflect this well, I think.  It falsely gives the
impression that all the registers are valid.  This may conflict an
individual register status, which could be REG_UNAVAILABLE.  To better
reflect the purpose, rename the field to "registers_fetched".
