[PATCH] gdb/doc: The RISC-V vector registers didn't change

[Palmer Dabbelt]

When we merged the GDB vector register support we did it a bit early,
just eating the risk in the very unlikely case that the vector register
names changed.  They didn't, so we can now remove the caveat in the docs
that they might.
