The gdb.rocm/precise-memory.exp test currently checks that the "amdgpu
precise-memory" setting can be set. It does not test that this setting
has any meaningful effect.
This patch extends this test to ensure that precise-memory has the
expected behaviour.

This commit is the result of the following actions:
- Running gdb/copyright.py to update all of the copyright headers to
include 2024,
- Manually updating a few files the copyright.py script told me to
update, these files had copyright headers embedded within the
file,
- Regenerating gdbsupport/Makefile.in to refresh it's copyright
date,
- Using grep to find other files that still mentioned 2023. If
these files were updated last year from 2022 to 2023 then I've
updated them this year to 2024.
I'm sure I've probably missed some dates. Feel free to fix them up as
you spot them.

Functions of the hip runtime returning a hipError_t can be marked
nodiscard depending on the configuration[1] (when compiled with C++17).
This patch makes sure that we always check the value returned by
hipDeviceSynchronize and friends, and print an error message when
appropriate. This avoid a wall of warnings when running the testsuite
if the compiler defaults to using C++17.
It is always a good practice to check the return values anyway.

The amd-dbgapi library exposes a setting called "memory precision" for
AMD GPUs [1]. Here's a copy of the description of the setting:
The AMD GPU can overlap the execution of memory instructions with other
instructions. This can result in a wave stopping due to a memory violation
or hardware data watchpoint hit with a program counter beyond the
instruction that caused the wave to stop.
Some architectures allow the hardware to be configured to always wait for
memory operations to complete before continuing. This will result in the
wave stopping at the instruction immediately after the one that caused the
stop event. Enabling this mode can make execution of waves significantly
slower.
Expose this option through a new "amdgpu precise-memory" setting.
The precise memory setting is per inferior. The setting is transferred
from one inferior to another when using the clone-inferior command, or
when a new inferior is created following an exec or a fork.
It can be set before starting the inferior, in which case GDB will
attempt to apply what the user wants when attaching amd-dbgapi. If the
user has requested to enable precise memory, but it can't be enabled
(not all hardware supports it), GDB prints a warning.
If precise memory is disabled, GDB prints a warning when hitting a
memory exception (translated into GDB_SIGNAL_SEGV or GDB_SIGNAL_BUS),
saying that the stop location may not be precise.
Note that the precise memory setting also affects memory watchpoint
reporting, but the watchpoint support for AMD GPUs hasn't been
upstreamed to GDB yet. When we do upstream watchpoint support, GDB will
produce a similar warning message when stopping due to a watchpoint if
precise memory is disabled.
Add a handful of tests. Add a util proc
"hip_devices_support_precise_memory", which indicates if all devices
used for testing support that feature.
