In collect_register() function of arc-linux-tdep.c, the "eret"
(exception return) register value was not being reported correctly.
This patch fixes that.
Background:
When asked for the "pc" value, we have to update the "eret" register
with GDB's STOP_PC. The "eret" instructs the kernel code where to
jump back when an instruction has stopped due to a breakpoint. This
is how collect_register() was doing so:
--------------8<--------------
if (regnum == gdbarch_pc_regnum (gdbarch))
regnum = ARC_ERET_REGNUM;
regcache->raw_collect (regnum, buf + arc_linux_core_reg_offsets[regnum]);
-------------->8--------------
Root cause:
Although this is using the correct offset (ERET register's), it is also
changing the REGNUM itself. Therefore, raw_collect (regnum, ...) is
not reading from "pc" anymore.
v2:
- Fix a copy/paste issue as rightfully addressed by Tom [1].

gdb/ChangeLog:
* arc-linux-tdep.c (collect_register): Populate "eret" by
"pc" value from the regcache when asked for "pc" value.

With the implemenations in this patch, ARC gdb can handle
coredump related matters. The binutils counter part of
this patch has already been pushed [1].
v2 [2]:
- arc_linux_collect_gregset: Use "reg <= ARC_LAST_REGNUM" instead of
"reg < ARC_LAST_REGNUM" for the condition check of the for-loop.
- arc-linux-tdep.c: Use "ARC_LAST_REGNUM < ARRAY_SIZE (...)" instead of
"ARC_LAST_REGNUM <= ARRAY_SIZE (...)" for the "asserts".
- Use "buf + arc_linux_core_reg_offsets[ARC_ERET_REGNUM]" instead of
"buf + REG_OFF (6)".
- Fix a few typos/indentation.
v3 [3]:
- Use gdb_assert_not_reached(text) instead of gdb_assert (!text).
- Remove unnecessary braces in the for loop.

ARC Linux targets differences from baremetal:
- No support for hardware single instruction stepping.
- Different access rules to registers.
- Use of another instruction for breakpoints.
v2: Changes after Tom's remarks [1]
arc-linux-tdep.c
- Use true/false instead of TRUE/FALSE.
- arc_linux_sw_breakpoint_from_kind (): Break long lines into two.
- arc_linux_sw_breakpoint_from_kind (): Remove starting blank line.
- Use explicit number evaluation, e.g: if (a & b) -> if ((a & b) != 0)
arc-tdep.c
- Use explicit number evaluation, e.g: if (a & b) -> if ((a & b) != 0)
gdb/configure.tgt
- arc*-*-linux*): Remove "build_gdbserver=yes".
v3: Changes after Simon's remarks [2]
arc-linux-tdep.c
- Use "return trap_size" instead of cryptic "return 2".
- Removed unnecessary curly braces.
- Removed "void" from "_initialize_arc_linux_tdep (void)".
v5: Changes after Simon's remarks [3]
- Remove unnecessary empty lines.
- Replace "breakpoint uses" with "breakpoints use" in a comment.
- "return condition;" i.s.o. "if (condition) return true; else return false;"
