[PATCH 06/29] tests/tcg: add an explicit gdbstub register tester

[Alex Bennée]

We already do a couple of "info registers" for specific tests but this
is a more comprehensive multiarch test. It also has some output
helpful for debugging the gdbstub by showing which XML features are
advertised and what the underlying register numbers are.

My initial motivation was to see if there are any duplicate register
names exposed via the gdbstub while I was reviewing the proposed
register interface for TCG plugins.

Mismatches between the xml and remote-desc are reported for debugging
but do not fail the test.

v2
  - remove python2 compat bits
  - add SPDX header, clean up comment lines
  - fix duplicate check
  - use field 6 (Rmt Nr) instead of field 1 (Nr) for cross-check
  - more useful output on finding a duplicates and missing regs
  - handle non-XML targets cleanly
