Implement SystemTap SDT probe support for AArch64
This commit implements the needed bits for SystemTap SDT probe support
on AArch64 architectures.
First, I started by looking at AArch64 assembly specification and
filling the necessary options on gdbarch's stap machinery in order to
make the generic asm parser (implemented in stap-probe.c) recognize
AArch64's asm.
After my last patch for the SystemTap SDT API, which extends it in order
to accept multiple prefixes and suffixes, this patch became simpler. I
also followed Marcus suggestion and did not shared code between 32- and
64-bit ARM.
Tom asked me in a previous message how I did my tests. I believe I
replied that, but just in case: I ran the tests on
gdb.base/stap-probe.exp by hand. I also managed to run the tests on
real hardware, and they pass without regressions.
