armv8_dpm: fix registers read at debug entry

The comment above armv8_dpm_read_current_registers() doesn't match
the implementation, as the function reads all the registers from
ARMV8_PC and above.
The registers currently read are not relevant to answer to the
usual GDB initial request through the 'g' packet. Plus the lack of
differentiation per core state (AArch32 vs AArch64) causes the
read of not existing registers in AArch32 triggering errors, as
tentatively fixed by https://review.openocd.org/5517/

Fix the code to read the registers initially required by GDB.
Modify the comment to report the register list in AArch32 and in
AArch64.
Keep the extra checks inside the read loop, even if they are
mostly irrelevant; this could prevent errors if someone needs to
extend the number of registers to read.

The current implementation of the register's description in
OpenOCD does not allow to discriminate among AArch32 and AArch64
registers. Add a TODO comment to highlight it.
