There was a problem with generation of the disassembler options for ARC in GDB,
because a BFD architecture name was used as a CPU name, but they have different
meaning even if some architectures have same name as respective CPUs. Target
description specifies a BFD architecture, which is different from ARC CPU, as
accepted by the disassembler (and most other ARC tools), because CPU values are
much more fine grained - there can be multiple CPU values per single BFD
architecture. As a result this code should translate architecture to some CPU
value. Since there is no info on exact CPU configuration, it is best to use
the most feature-rich CPU, so that the disassembler will recognize all
instructions available to the specified architecture.

Add disassembler helper for GDB, that uses opcodes structure arc_instruction
and adds convenience functions to handle instruction operands. This interface
solves at least those problems with arc_instruction:
* Some instructions, like "push_s", have implicit operands which are not
directly present in arc_instruction.
* Operands of particular meaning, like branch/jump targets, have various
locations and meaning depending on type of branch/target.
* Access to operand value is abstracted into a separate function, so callee
code shouldn't bother if operand value is an immediate value or in a
register.
Testcases included in this commit are fairly limited - they test exclusively
branch instructions, something that will be used in software single stepping.
Most of the other parts of this disassembler helper are tested during prologue
analysis testing.

Add ARC_LIMM_REGNUM to arc_regnum enumeration and assign a number 62 to it.
This ensures that for core registers internal register numbers in this enum are
the same as architectural numbers. This allows to use internal register
numbers in the contexts where architectural number is implied, for example when
disassembling instruction during prologue analysis.

ARC_RESERVED_REGNUM and ARC_LIMM_REGNUM.

This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
Standard get_longjmp_target implementation, similar to what is in arm-tdep.c.
Actual value of jb_pc should be set in init_osabi methods of particular OS/ABI
implementations.

ARC is a family of licensable processors developed by Synopsys.
This is an initial patch that doesn't yet support some of the features, that
are already available in Synopsys' fork of GDB, namely:
* longjmp support
* signal frame handling
* prologue analysis
* Linux targets support
* native Linux support
ARC cores are configurable and extensible, which means from debugger
perspective that some registers and debug capabilities are optional, therefore
it is up to the GDB stub to determine exact list of register available on
target and supply it to GDB via XML target descriptions. List of registers
that is known to GDB and is required is intentionally kept small to simplify
requirements to GDB stub and implementation of a GDB client.
