[PATCH] sim: arm: add support for handling core dumps

[Fredrik Hederstierna via Gdb-patches <gdb-patches@sourceware.org>]

The ARM simulator does not support all registers, and also crash in case of entering zero length when fetching registers.
This patch allow gcore to also work in ARM simulator, though by default it seems to dump full memory space 4GB, so core files get very large, though seems to work ok anyhow.
