Fake step is a hack introduced to make things work with real RTOSs that
have a concept of a current thread. The hwthread rtos always has access
to all threads, so doesn't need it.
This fixes a bug when running my MulticoreRegTest against HiFive
Unleashed where OpenOCD would return the registers of the wrong thread
after gdb stepped a hart.

This patch adds "hwthread", a pseudo rtos that represents cpu cores
in an SMP system as threads to gdb. This allows to debug SMP
system kernels in a more sensible manner and removes the current
atrocities of switching gdb manually between CPU cores to update
the context.

* Implement riscv_get_thread_reg().
This is necessary because riscv_get_gdb_reg_list() now reads all
registers, which ended up causing `-rtos riscv` to read all registers
whenever one was requested (because the register cache is wiped every
time we switch to a different hart).
CustomRegisterTest went from 1329s to 106s.

* Also implement riscv_set_reg().
Now all the `-rtos riscv` tests pass again, at regular speed.

* Better error messages.
Change-Id: I4125f9a54750d9d0ee22c4fa84b9dd3f5af203f5
* Add target_get_gdb_reg_list_noread().
Being explicit about what's expected gets `-rtos riscv` back to `-rtos
hwthread` time.

* Revert a change I made that has no effect.
I don't understand exactly what all this test protects against, and I
shouldn't change it unless I do.

Previously the code made the assumption (which is valid for conventional
RTOSs) that special registers (e.g. CSRs) are the same across threads.
26/45 tests pass.

I don't understand how it was ever possible to change the registers on a
thread that's not the current active one when a halt happened. Really
instead of the RTOS tracking what the currently selected thread is, it
would make more sense to have gdb_server do that and simply pass it
along in every call to the RTOS layer.
Now MulticoreRegTest passes.
