The code making use of pseudo registers was initially intended to support running 32-bit ABI files on 64-bit riscv targets. However, the implementation was incomplete, and broken. For now I've removed all reference to pseudo registers from the riscv target, we've not lost any functionality, and this cleans up failures in the selftests. Once the riscv target has matured a little we'll probably end up bringing back some of the use of pseudo registers in order to better support running 32-bit executables on a 64-bit target. gdb/ChangeLog: * riscv-tdep.c (riscv_pseudo_register_read): Delete. (riscv_pseudo_register_write): Delete. (riscv_gdbarch_init): Remove all use of pseudo registers.

This is a backport of a patch that has been applied to the riscv GDB repo almost 3 years ago. I was annoyed enough to bisect what was causing the following error to continue to use the pulp fork (however, I wonder if this is even necessary - it would be nice to know what the fork offers that riscv upstream does not).
This fixes:
