No longer create readonly regcache

Nowadays, we create a readonly regcache in get_return_value, and pass it
to gdbarch_return_value to get the return value.  In theory, we can pass a
readable_regcache instance and get the return value, because we don't need
to modify the regcache.  Unfortunately, gdbarch_return_value is designed
to multiplex regcache, according to READBUF and WRITEBUF.

 # If READBUF is not NULL, extract the return value and save it in this
 # buffer.
 #
 # If WRITEBUF is not NULL, it contains a return value which will be
 # stored into the appropriate register.

In fact, gdbarch_return_value should be split to three functions, 1) only
return return_value_convention, 2) pass regcache_readonly and readbuf, 3)
pass regcache and writebuf.  These changes are out of the scope of this
patch series, so I pass regcache to gdbarch_return_value even for read,
and trust each gdbarch backend doesn't modify regcache.
