gdb/x86: move reading of cs and ds state into gdb/nat directory
This patch is part of a series that has the aim sharing the x86 Linux target description creation code between GDB and gdbserver. Within GDB part of this process involves reading the cs and ds state from the 'struct user_regs_struct' using a ptrace call. This isn't done by gdbserver, which is part of the motivation for this whole series; the approach gdbserver takes is inferior to the approach GDB takes (gdbserver relies on reading the file being debugged, and extracting similar information from the file headers). This commit moves the reading of cs and ds, which is used to figure out if a thread is 32-bit or 64-bit (or in x32 mode), into the gdb/nat directory so that the code can be shared with gdbserver, but at this point I'm not actually using the code in gdbserver, that will come later. As such there should be no user visible changes after this commit, GDB continues to do things as it did before (reading cs/ds), while gdbserver continues to use its own approach (which doesn't require reading cs/ds).
