The powerpc xml files contained a hack--an empty, non-existent
register--for getting the register numbers to line up for
newer (XML-aware) and older (non-XML-aware) GDB. While this hack worked
in some cases, it didn't work in all cases, notably when the user used
`finish' or `continue': GDB would attempt to read the non-existent
register and QEMU would complain.
This patch fixes things up properly. Instead of inserting a fake
register, we explicitly declare the floating-point and SPE registers to
start at 71. This action accomplishes the same thing as the nasty hack,
except that now GDB never tries to fetch the non-existant register 70.

These files are nearly identical to the XML files provided with GDB.
The only difference is that power-{fpu,spe}.xml do not assign register
numbers; the internal QEMU machinery takes care of that.
Define gdb_xml_files for ppc targets in configure as well.
