[PATCH v2 01/11] gdbserver: dump 'xx...x' in collect_register_as_string for unavailable register

[Tankut Baris Aktemur <tankut.baris.aktemur@intel.com>]

Fix 'collect_register_as_string' so that unavailable registers are
dumped as 'xx...x' instead of arbitrary values.  This gives the
opportunity that we can reuse 'collect_register_as_string' in
'registers_to_string' for additional code simplification.

Note: This patch is also included in the "A new target to debug Intel GPUs"
series at
  https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2024-December/214029.html
