    gdb/gdbarch: remove the predicate function for gdbarch_register_type
    
    I don't believe that the gdbarch_register_type_p predicate is called
    anywhere in GDB, and the gdbarch_register_type function is called
    without checking the gdbarch_register_type_p predicate function
    everywhere it is used, for example in
    init_regcache_descr (regcache.c).
    
    My claim is that the gdbarch_register_type function is required for
    every architecture, and GDB will not work if this function is not
    supplied.
    
    And so, in this commit, I remove the 'predicate=True' from
    gdbarch-components.py for the 'register_type' field, and regenerate
    the gdbarch files.
    
    There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
