Before this commit, there were contradictory descriptions about size of EFER
register.
Line 113 says the size is 8 bytes.
Line 129 says the size is 4 bytes.
As a result, when GDB is debugging an OS running on QEMU, the GDB cannot
read 'g' packets correctly. This 'g' packet transmits values of each
registers of machine emulated by QEMU to GDB. QEMU, the packet sender,
assign 4 bytes for EFER in 'g' packet based on the line 113.
GDB, the packet receiver, extract 8 bytes for EFER in 'g' packet based on
the line 129. Therefore, all registers located behind EFER in 'g' packet
has been shifted 4 bytes in GDB.
After this commit, GDB can read 'g' packets correctly.

The machine description we send is being (silently) thrown on the floor
by GDB and GDB silently uses the default machine description, because
the xml parse fails on <feature> nested within <feature>.
Changes to the xml in qemu source code have no effect.
In addition, the default machine description has fs_base, which fails to
be retrieved, which breaks the whole register window. Add it and the
other control registers.

Add an XML description for SSE registers (XMM+MXCSR) for both X86
and X86-64 architectures in the GDB stub:
- configure: Define gdb_xml_files for the X86 targets (32 and 64bit).
- gdb-xml/i386-32bit-sse.xml & gdb-xml/i386-64bit-sse.xml: The XML files
that contain a description of the XMM + MXCSR registers.
- gdb-xml/i386-32bit.xml & gdb-xml/i386-64bit.xml: wrappers that include
the XML file of the core registers and the other XML file of the SSE registers.
- target/i386/cpu.c: Modify the gdb_core_xml_file to the new XML wrapper,
modify the gdb_num_core_regs to fit the registers number defined in each
XML file.
