[RFA] sim/ppc/psim.c: ignore architecture param

[Elena Zannoni <ezannoni@redhat.com>]

With the PPC simulator, if you do the following, you get an error, and
the session is aborted:

(gdb) set architecture             
Requires an argument. Valid arguments are rs6000:6000, rs6000:rs1, rs6000:rsc, rs6000:rs2, powerpc:common, auto.
(gdb) set architecture powerpc:common
The target architecture is assumed to be powerpc:common
(gdb) tar sim
Usage:
[usage message...]

With the proposed patch, instead you would get this behavior:

[ezannoni@localhost gdb]$ ./gdb -nw

(gdb) set architecture powerpc:7400

(gdb) tar sim

(gdb) q



When gdb sees that the architecture has been set manually, it passes the
name of the architecture to the simulator as a parameter:
--architecture=powerpc:7400 (for instance). Psim doesn't digest this one.

All I did was tolerate the option, ignoring it, and continue the
connection.

        * psim.c (psim_options): Don't choke when gdb invokes us with
        the --architecture option, just ignore it.
