Disable record btrace bts support for AMD processors

Some Intel processors implement a Branch Trace Store (BTS) which GDB
uses for reverse execution support via the "record btrace bts"
command.

I have been unable to find a description of a similar feature in a
recent (April 2020) AMD64 architecture reference:

    https://www.amd.com/system/files/TechDocs/40332.pdf

While it is the case that AMD processors have an LBR (last branch
record) bit in the DebugCtl MSR, it seems that it affects only four
MSRs when enabled.  The names of these MSRs are LastBranchToIP,
LastBranchFromIP, LastIntToIP, and LastIntFromIP.  I can find no
mention of anything more extensive.  While looking at an Intel
architecture document, I noticed that Intel's P6 family from the
mid-90s had registers of the same name.

Therefore...

This commit disables "record btrace bts" support in GDB for AMD
processors.

Using the test case from gdb.base/break.exp, the sessions
below show the expected behavior (run on a machine with an
Intel processor) versus that on a machine with an AMD processor.
The AMD processor in question is reported as follows by "lscpu":
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X 16-Core Processor .  Finally, I'll
note that the AMD machine is actually a VM, but I see similar
behavior on both the virtualization host and the VM.

Intel machine - Desired behavior:

Lastly, I'll note that I see a lot of gdb.btrace failures without
this commit.  Worse still, the results aren't always the same which
causes a lot of noise when comparing test results.

gdbsupport/ChangeLog:

	* btrace-common.h (btrace_cpu_vendor): Add CV_AMD.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* nat/linux-btrace.c (btrace_this_cpu): Add check for AMD
	processors.
	(cpu_supports_bts): Add CV_AMD case.
