When the inferior program changes the SVE length, GDB can stop tracking
some registers as it obtains the new gdbarch that corresponds to the
updated length:
Breakpoint 1, do_sve_ioctl_test () at sve-ioctls.c:44
44 res = prctl(PR_SVE_SET_VL, i, 0, 0, 0, 0);
(gdb) print i
$2 = 32

Notice that register tpidr disappeared when vg (which holds the vector
length) changed from 8 to 4. The tpidr register is provided by the
org.gnu.gdb.aarch64.tls feature.
This happens because the code that searches for a new gdbarch to match the
new vector length in aarch64_linux_nat_target::thread_architecture doesn't
take into account the features present in the target description associated
with the previous gdbarch. This patch makes it do that.
Since the id member of struct gdbarch_info is now unused, it's removed.
