Fix x86-64 GNU/Linux crashesusers/palves/amd64-tdesc

Ref: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-07/msg00162.html

Debugging x86-64 GNU/Linux programs currently crashes GDB in
tdesc_use_registers during gdbarch initialization:

The direct cause of the crash is that we tried to remove an element
from the hash which supposedly exists, but does not.  (htab_remove_elt
shouldn't really crash in this case, but that's secondary.)

The real problem is that early_data passed to tdesc_use_registers
includes regs from a target description that is not the target_desc,
which violates its assumptions.  The registers in question are the
fs_base/gs_base registers, added by amd64_init_abi:

      tdesc_numbered_register (feature, tdesc_data_segments,
		       AMD64_FSBASE_REGNUM, "fs_base");
      tdesc_numbered_register (feature, tdesc_data_segments,
		       AMD64_GSBASE_REGNUM, "gs_base");

and that happens because amd64_linux_init_abi uses amd64_init_abi as
helper, but they don't coordinate on which fallback tdesc to use.

amd64_init_abi does:

  if (! tdesc_has_registers (tdesc))
    tdesc = tdesc_amd64;

and then adds the fs_base/gs_base registers of the "tdesc_amd64" tdesc
to the tdesc_arch_data.

After amd64_init_abi returns, amd64_linux_init_abi does:

  if (! tdesc_has_registers (tdesc))
    tdesc = tdesc_amd64_linux;
  tdep->tdesc = tdesc;

and we end up tdesc_amd64_linux installed in tdep->tdesc.

The fix is to make sure that amd64_linux_init_abi and amd64_init_abi
agree on default tdesc, by adding a "default tdesc" parameter to
amd64_init_abi, instead of having amd64_init_abi hardcode a default.
With this, amd64_init_abi creates the fs_base/gs_base registers using
the tdesc_amd64_linux tdesc.

Tested on x86-64 GNU/Linux, -m64.  I don't have an x32 setup handy.

Thanks to John Baldwin, Yao Qi and Simon Marchi for the investigation.

gdb/ChangeLog:
