  This patch ensures that only a target_regcache can call down to
the target. This is done by virtualising raw_read, raw_write and
raw_update.

In a target_regcache, these functions continue to work as they have
always done. A target_regcache cannot be readonly, so does not need
to check this.

In a regcache, these functions now do not call down to the target.
Effectively, raw_read becomes raw_collect, raw_write becomes
raw_set_cached_value and raw_update becomes a no op.


There are no other functions in regcache that call down to the target.
Functions such as raw_read_unsigned or cooked_write all use the above
three functions.


Tested on a --enable-targets=all build with board files unix,
native-gdbserver and unittest.exp.

	* regcache.h: (regcache::raw_update): No op function.
	* regcache.c (target_regcache::raw_update): Retain existing
	functionality.
	(regcache::raw_read): Do not read from target.
	(target_regcache::raw_read):  Retain existing functionality.
	(regcache::raw_write): Do not write to target.
	(target_regcache::raw_write):  Retain existing functionality.
