gdb: always add the default register groups

There's a set of 7 default register groups.  If we don't add any
gdbarch specific register groups during gdbarch initialisation, then
when we iterate over the register groups using reggroup_next and
reggroup_prev we will make use of these 7 default groups.  See the use
of default_groups in gdb/reggroups.c for details on this.

However, if the gdbarch adds its own groups during gdbarch
initialisation, then these groups will be used in preference to the
default groups.

A problem arises though if the particular architecture makes use of
the target description mechanism.  If the default target
description(s) (i.e. those internal to GDB that are used when the user
doesn't provide their own) don't mention any additional register
groups then the default register groups will be used.

But if the target description does mention additional groups then the
default groups are not used, and instead, the groups from the target
description are used.

The problem with this is that what usually happens is that the target
description will mention additional groups, e.g. groups for special
registers.  Most architectures that use target descriptions work
around this by adding all (or most) of the default register groups in
all cases.  See i386_add_reggroups, aarch64_add_reggroups,
riscv_add_reggroups, xtensa_add_reggroups, and others.

In this patch, my suggestion is that we should just add the default
register groups for every architecture, always.  This change is in
gdb/reggroups.c.

All the remaining changes are me updating the various architectures to
not add the default groups themselves.

So, where will this change be visible to the user?  I think the
following commands will possibly change:

* info registers / info all-registers:

  The user can provide a register group to these commands.  For example,
  on csky, we previously never added the 'vector' group.  Now, as a
  default group, this will be available, but (presumably) will not
  contain any registers.  I don't think this is necessarily a bad
  thing, there's something to be said for having some consistent
  defaults available.  There are other architectures that didn't add
  all 7 of the defaults, which will now have gained additional groups.

* maint print reggroups

  This prints the set of all available groups.  As a maintenance
  command I'm less concerned with the output changing here.
  Obviously, for the architectures that didn't previously add all the
  defaults, this list just got bigger.

* maint print register-groups

  This prints all the registers, and the groups they are in.  If the
  defaults were not previously being added then a register (obviously)
  can't appear in one of the default groups.  Now the groups are
  available then registers might be in more groups than previously.
  However, this is again a maintenance command, so I'm less concerned
  about this changing.
