gdbserver: use REG_UNKNOWN for a regcache's register statuses
When a regcache is initialized, the values of registers are not
fetched yet. Thus, initialize the register statuses to REG_UNKNOWN
instead of REG_UNAVAILABLE, because the latter rather means "we
attempted to fetch but could not obtain the value".
The definitions of the reg status enums (from
gdbsupport/common-regcache.h) as a reminder:
/* The register value is not in the cache, and we don't know yet
whether it's available in the target (or traceframe). */
REG_UNKNOWN = 0,
/* The register value is valid and cached. */
REG_VALID = 1,
/* The register value is unavailable. E.g., we're inspecting a
traceframe, and this register wasn't collected. Note that this
"unavailable" is different from saying the register does not
exist in the target's architecture --- in that case, the target
should have given us a target description that does not include
the register in the first place. */
REG_UNAVAILABLE = -1
Similarly, when the regcache is invalidated, change all the statuses
back to REG_UNKNOWN.
