gdb/testsuite/lib/my-syscalls.S: Refactor new SYSCALL macro
Refactor the syscall assembly code in gdb/testsuite/lib/my-syscalls.S behind a SYSCALL macro so that it's easy to add new syscalls without duplicating code. Note that the way the macro is implemented, it only works correctly for syscalls with up to 3 arguments, and, if the syscall doesn't return (the macro doesn't bother to save/restore callee-saved registers). The following patch will want to use the macro to define a wrapper for the "exit" syscall, so the limitations continue to be sufficient. Change-Id: I8acf1463b11a084d6b4579aaffb49b5d0dea3bba
