btrace: set/show record btrace cpu

Add new set/show commands to set the processor that is used for enabling
errata workarounds when decoding branch trace.

The general format is "<vendor>:<identifier>" but we also allow two
special values "auto" and "none".

The default is "auto", which is the current behaviour of having GDB
determine the processor on which the trace was recorded.

If that cpu is not known to the trace decoder, e.g. when using an old
decoder on a new system, decode may fail with "unknown cpu".  In most
cases it should suffice to 'downgrade' decode to assume an older cpu.
Unfortunately, we can't do this automatically.

The other special value, "none", disables errata workarounds.
