Commit 236c54c94a ("server/gdb_server.c: support unavailable
registers") correctly returns a string of 'x' when the register is
not available in the current target.
While implementing this, it incorrectly drops the pre-existing
feature of optionally ignoring errors while reading a register.
This feature has a real use case documented in the OpenOCD manual
in chapter 'Using GDB as a non-intrusive memory inspector', where
GDB attaches to a target without halting it. For targets that need
to be halted to read its registers, we need to hack the values of
the registers returned to GDB; either returning 'xxxx' or an error
causes GDB to drop the connection.
Re-add the check on 'gdb_report_register_access_error' to keep the
pre-existing behavior when a register error has to be ignored:
- return a string of '0';
- drop a debug message.
