sme: Add SVE/SME testcases
Add 5 SVE/SME tests to exercise all the new features like reading/writing registers, pseudo-registers, signal frames and core files. - Sanity check for SME: Gives a brief smoke test to make sure the most basic of features are working correctly. - ZA unavailability tests: Validates the behavior/content of the ZA register is correct when no payload is available. It also exercises changing the vector lengths. - ZA availability tests: These tests exercise reading/writing to all the possible ZA pseudo-registers, and validates the state is correct. - Core file tests: Validates that core file reading and writing works correctly and that all state dumped/loaded is sane. This is exercised for both Linux Kernel core files and gcore core files. - Signal frame tests: Validates the correct restoration of SME/SVE/FPSIMD values across signal frames. Since some of these tests are very lengthy and take a little while to run (under QEMU at the moment), I decided to parallelize them into smaller chunks so we can throw some more CPU power at them so they run faster. I'd still like to add a few more tests to give the testsuite more coverage in the areas of SME/SVE. Hopefully in the near future that will happen. Just a reminder that these SME tests are currently unsupported when gdb is connected to a remote target. That's because the RSP doesn't support communicating changes in vector lenghts mid-execution, so gdb will always get wrong state from the remote target.
