gdb: specify sh pointer register types

This patch fixes a pretty funny issue on sh targets that occurred
because $pc (and similar registers) were typed as int. When $pc is in
the upper half of the address space (i.e. kernel code on sh), `x/i $pc'
would resolve to a negative value. At least in the case of a remote
target with an Xfer memory map, this leads to a spurious "cannot access
memory" error as negative addresses are out of bounds.

(gdb) x/i $pc
    0x8c202c04:    Cannot access memory at address 0x8c202c04
(gdb) x/i 0x8c202c04
=> 0x8c202c04 <gintctl_gint_gdb+304>:    mov.l    @r1,r10

The issue is fixed by specifying pointer types for pc and other pointer
registers. Code pointer registers on sh include pc, pr (return address
of a call), vbr (interrupt handler) and spc (return address after
interrupt). Data pointers include r15 (stack pointer) and gbr (base
register for a few specific addressing modes).
