  The following patch addresses BZ 21005, which is gdb failing to
recognize an rdrand instruction.

It enables support for both rdrand and rdseed and handles extended register
addressing (R8~R15) for 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit.

I tested this by hand with quite a few lines of inline asm.  I thought we
had arch-specific tests in testsuite/, but it looks like we don't exercise
every little instruction with record/replay, so no testcase.  Let me know
if one is required.

Regression-tested on Ubuntu 16.04 x86-64.

Testsuite results are as follows:

    === gdb Summary ===

# of expected passes	159

OK?

	* NEWS: Mention support for record/replay of Intel 64 rdrand and
	rdseed instructions.

OK for the NEWS part.

Suggest saying "this patch".  "following" won't make sense
when this sentence is part of the git log history.

This remark looks out of date?

Please remember to remove this, as it doesn't make sense to have
it in a commit log.

OK.
