In the current code, when a register is fetched, the entire regset
are fetched via ptrace, but only this register status is updated in
regcache, it needs to fetch the same regset through ptrace again if
another register in this regset is fetched later, this is obviously
unnecessary. It is proper to update the status of the entire regset
in regcache when fetching a register via ptrace.

which automated the update of the copyright year range for all
source files managed by the GDB project to be updated to include
year 2023.
Commit 736918239b ("gdb: LoongArch: add orig_a0 into register set")
introduced orig_a0, similar processing needs to be done in gdbserver.
At the same time, add orig_a0 related comments.

The basic support for LoongArch has been merged into the upstream Linux
kernel since 5.19-rc1 on June 5, 2022. This commit adds orig_a0 which
is added into struct user_pt_regs [1] to match the upstream kernel, and
then the upstream GDB will work with the upstream kernel.
Note that orig_a0 was added into struct user_pt_regs in the development
cycle for merging LoongArch port into the upstream Linux kernel, so
earlier kernels (notably, the product kernel with version 4.19 used in
distros like UOS and Loongnix) don't have it. Inspect
arch/loongarch/include/uapi/asm/ptrace.h in the kernel tree to make sure.
To build upstream GDB for a kernel lacking orig_a0, it's necessary to
revert this commit locally.

This commit defines register numbers of various important registers,
we can use them directly in the related code, and also clean up some
code to make them more clear and readable.
