This patch series implements general memory tagging support for GDB, as well
as an implementation for AArch64 Linux.

Memory tagging improves memory safety by tagging various parts of memory and
raising exceptions when the allocation tag (the one associated with a range of
memory addresses) does not match the logical tag contained in a pointer that is
used to access the memory area.

We already have an implementation of such a mechanism for sparc64 (ADI), but
it is target-specific and not exposed to the rest of GDB. This series aims to
make the infrastructure available to other targets that may wish to support
their specific memory tagging approaches. For AArch64 Linux this is called
MTE (Memory Tagging Extensions).

The series is split into a set that deals with generic changes to GDB's
infrastructure (target methods, gdbarch hooks and remote packets), a set that
implements support for AArch64 Linux and one last set that implements new
commands, updates the documentation and adds tests.

The goal is to make it so the architecture independent parts of GDB don't
need to interpret tag formats, given the formats are likely different
for each architecture.  For this reason, GDB will handle tags as a sequence of
bytes and will not assume a particular format.

The architecture-specific code can handle the sequence of bytes appropriately.
