Fix gdbserver crashes on SVE/SME-enabled systems
Commit 51e6b8cfd649013ae16a3d00f1451b2531ba6bc9 fixed a regression for SVE/SME registers on gdb's side by using a <= comparison for regcache's raw_compare assertion check. We seem to have failed to do the same for gdbserver's raw_compare counterpart. With the code as it is, I'm seeing a lot of crashes for gdbserver on a machine with SVE enabled. For instance, with the following invocation: make check-gdb RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-gdbserver" TESTS=gdb.base/break.exp Running /work/builds/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/../../../../repos/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/break.exp ...

This patch also adds a simple selftest to gdbserver that validates this particular case by simulating a raw_compare operation.
