gdb: provide the name of the architecture in the target.xml

This patch provides the name of the architecture in the target.xml
if available.

This allows the remote gdb to detect the target architecture on its
own - so there is no need to specify it manually (e.g. if gdb is
started without a binary) using "set arch *arch_name*".

The name of the architecture is provided by a callback that can
be implemented by all architectures. The arm implementation has
special handling for iwmmxt and returns arm otherwise. This can
be extended if necessary.
