This patch intends to partially fix PR breakpoints/10737, which is
about making the syscall information (for the "catch syscall" command)
be per-arch, instead of global. This is not a full fix because of the
other issues pointed by Pedro here:
<https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10737#c5>
However, I consider it a good step towards the real fix. It will also
help me fix <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17402>.
What this patch does, basically, is move the "syscalls_info"
struct to gdbarch. Currently, the syscall information is stored in a
global variable inside gdb/xml-syscall.c, which means that there is no
easy way to correlate this info with the current target or
architecture being used, for example. This causes strange behaviors,
because the syscall info is not re-read when the arch changes. For
example, if you put a syscall catchpoint in syscall 5 on i386 (syscall
open), and then load a x86_64 program on GDB and put the same syscall
5 there (fstat on x86_64), you will still see that GDB tells you that
it is catching "open", even though it is not. With this patch, GDB
correctly says that it will be catching fstat syscalls.
(gdb) set architecture i386
The target architecture is assumed to be i386
(gdb) catch syscall 5
Catchpoint 1 (syscall 'open' [5])
(gdb) set architecture i386:x86-64
The target architecture is assumed to be i386:x86-64
(gdb) catch syscall 5
Catchpoint 2 (syscall 'open' [5])
But with the patch:
(gdb) set architecture i386
The target architecture is assumed to be i386
(gdb) catch syscall 5
Catchpoint 1 (syscall 'open' [5])
(gdb) set architecture i386:x86-64
The target architecture is assumed to be i386:x86-64
(gdb) catch syscall 5
Catchpoint 2 (syscall 'fstat' [5])
As I said, there are still some problems on the "catch syscall"
mechanism, because (for example) the user should be able to "catch
syscall open" on i386, and then expect "open" to be caught also on
x86_64. Currently, it doesn't work. I intend to work on this later.

Two modifications:
1. The addition of 2013 to the copyright year range for every file;
2. The use of a single year range, instead of potentially multiple
