[PATCH v4 1/6] GDB: Add aarch64-pauth-linux.h to gdb/arch/ and gdb/nat/

[Thiago Jung Bauermann <thiago.bauermann@linaro.org>]

The code supporting Pointer Authentication duplicates the definition of
AARCH64_HWCAP_PACA and of AARCH64_LINUX_SIZEOF_PAUTH between GDB and
gdbserver, so add two new headers to host those definitions.

The target-dependant code should use AARCH64_HWCAP_PACA in
gdb/arch/aarch64-pauth-linux.h while native code should use HWCAP_PACA,
which will hopefully be defined by the system headers but with a backup
definition in gdb/nat/aarch64-pauth-linux.h if it isn't.

Changes since v3:
- Also create gdb/nat/aarch64-pauth-linux.h header.
- Keep AARCH64_HWCAP_PACA untouched.
