Cortex-M CPUs with MVE should advertise this fact to gdb, using the
org.gnu.gdb.arm.m-profile-mve XML feature, which defines the VPR
register.  Presence of this feature also tells gdb to create
pseudo-registers Q0..Q7, so we do not need to tell gdb about them
separately.

Note that unless you have a very recent GDB that includes this fix:
http://patches-tcwg.linaro.org/patch/58133/  gdb will mis-print the
individual fields of the VPR register as zero (but showing the whole
thing as hex, eg with "print /x $vpr" will give the correct value).

Reposting this unchanged except to remove the 'RFC' tag, as
the gdb patches have now gone upstream and the XML layout is
therefore finalized.

Thanks, applied to target-arm.next.
