Native debug arm program by aarch64 GDB

This patch is to let aarch64 GDB debug 32-bit arm program natively.  In
each function for fetching and storing registers, GDB will check
gdbarch_bfd_arch_info (gdbarch)->bits_per_word, if it is 32, call
the corresponding aarch32 functions in aarch32-linux-nat.c, otherwise
fall back to aarch64 code to fetch and store registers.

aarch64_linux_read_description has to return the right target description,
but we don't have gdbarch available there, so GDB fetches auxv and gets
AT_PHENT, in order to determine whether the target is 32-bit or 64-bit.
I learned this trick from solib-svr4.c.
