PR gdb/22286: linux-nat-trad: Support arbitrary register widths
Update `fetch_register' and `store_register' code to support arbitrary
register widths rather than only ones that are a multiply of the size of
the `ptrace' data type used with PTRACE_PEEKUSR and PTRACE_POKEUSR
requests to access registers. Remove associated assertions, correcting
an issue with accessing the DSPControl (`$dspctl') register on n64 MIPS
native targets:
(gdb) print /x $dspctl
.../gdb/linux-nat-trad.c:50: internal-error: void linux_nat_trad_target::fetch_register(regcache*, int): Assertion `(size % sizeof (PTRACE_TYPE_RET)) == 0' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.

NB due to the lack of access to 64-bit DSP hardware all DSP register
values in the dumps are artificial and have been created with a debug
change applied to the kernel handler of the `ptrace' syscall.
The use of `store_unsigned_integer' and `extract_unsigned_integer'
unconditionally in all cases rather than when actual data occupies a
part of the data quantity exchanged with `ptrace' makes code perhaps
marginally slower, however I think avoiding it is not worth code
obfuscation it would cause. If this turns out unfounded, then there
should be no problem with optimizing this code later.

* linux-nat-trad.c (linux_nat_trad_target::fetch_register):
Also handle registers whose width is not a multiple of
PTRACE_TYPE_RET.
(linux_nat_trad_target::store_register): Likewise.
