libdwfl stores registers in an array of uint64_t indexed by the DWARF
register number. This is suboptimal for a couple of reasons:
1. Although the DWARF specification states that registers should be
numbered for "optimal density", in practice this isn't the case. ABIs
include unused ranges of numbers and don't order registers based on
how likely they are to be known (e.g., caller-saved registers usually
aren't recovered while unwinding the stack, but they are often
numbered before callee-saved registers).
2. This precludes support for registers larger than 64 bits, like SSE
registers.
For our own unwinder, we want to store registers in an
architecture-specific format to solve both of these problems.
So, have each architecture define its layout with registers arranged for
space efficiency and convenience when parsing saved registers from core
dumps. Instead of generating an arch_foo.c file from arch_foo.c.in,
separately define the logical register order in an arch_foo.defs file,
and use it to generate an arch_foo.inc file that is included from
arch_foo.c. The layout is defined as a macro in arch_foo.c. While we're
here, drop some register definitions that aren't useful at the moment.
Then, define struct drgn_register_state to efficiently store registers
in the defined format.

Stack unwinding depends on some platform-specific information. If for
some reason a program has debugging information with different
platforms, then we need to make sure that while we're unwinding the
stack, we don't end up in a frame with a different platform, because the
registers won't make sense. Additionally, we should parse debugging
information using the module's platform rather than the program's
platform, which may not match. So, cache the platform derived from each
module's ELF file.

truncate_signed() requires 5 operations (compute a mask for the lower
bits, and it, compute the sign extension mask, xor it, subtract it) and
a branch. We can do it in 3 operations and no branches if we assume that
the compiler does an arithmetic shift for signed integers, which we
already depend on. Then, we can remove sign_extend(), which is the same
as truncate_signed() except it assumes that the upper bits are zero to
save on a couple of operations.
Similarly, for truncate_unsigned() we can remove the branch.

drgn_compound_type_from_dwarf() and drgn_enum_type_from_dwarf() check
the DW_AT_declaration flag to decide whether the type is a declaration
of an incomplete type or a definition of a complete type. However, they
check DW_AT_declaration with dwarf_attr_integrate(), which follows the
DW_AT_specification reference if it is present. The DIE referenced by
DW_AT_specification typically is a declaration, so this erroneously
identifies definitions as declarations. Additionally, if
drgn_debug_info_find_complete() finds the same definition, we can end up
recursing until we hit the DWARF parsing depth limit. Fix it by not
using dwarf_attr_integrate() for DW_AT_declaration.

Currently, reference objects and buffer value objects have a byte order.
However, this doesn't always make sense for a couple of reasons:
- Byte order is only meaningful for scalars. What does it mean for a
struct to be big endian? A struct doesn't have a most or least
significant byte; its scalar members do.
- The DWARF specification allows either types or variables to have a
byte order (DW_AT_endianity). The only producer I could find that uses
this is GCC for the scalar_storage_order type attribute, and it only
uses it for base types, not variables. GDB only seems to use to check
it for base types, as well.
So, remove the byte order from objects, and move it to integer, boolean,
floating-point, and pointer types. This model makes more sense, and it
means that we can get the binary representation of any object now.
The only downside is that we can no longer support a bit offset for
non-scalars, but as far as I can tell, nothing needs that.

enum drgn_register_number in the public libdrgn API and
drgn.Register.number in the Python bindings are basically exports of
DWARF register numbers. They only exist as a way to identify registers
that's lighter weight than string lookups. libdrgn already has struct
drgn_register, so we can use that to identify registers in the public
API and remove enum drgn_register_number. This has a couple of benefits:
we don't depend on DWARF numbering in our API, and we don't have to
generate drgn.h from the architecture files. The Python bindings can
just use string names for now. If it seems useful, StackFrame.register()
can take a Register in the future, we'll just need to be careful to not
allow Registers from the wrong platform.
While we're changing the API anyways, also change it so that registers
have a list of names instead of one name. This isn't needed for x86-64
at the moment, but will be for architectures that have multiple names
for the same register (like ARM).

The address of a per-CPU variable is really an offset into the per-CPU
area, but we're applying the load bias (i.e., KASLR offset) to it as if
