[lldb][AArch64] Read SME2's ZT0 register from Linux core files (#70934)
The ZT0 register is always 64 bytes in size so it is a lot easier to handle than ZA which is scalable. In addition, reading an inactive ZT0 via ptrace returns all 0s, unlike ZA which returns no register data. This means that a corefile from a process where ZA and ZT0 were inactive still contains an NT_ARM_ZT note and we can simply say that if it's there, then we should be able to read from it. Along the way I removed a redundant check on the size of the ZA note. If that note's size is < the ZA header size, we do not have SME, and therefore could not have SME2 either. I have added ZT0 to the existing SME core files tests. This means that you need an SME2 system to generate them (Arm's FVP at this point). I think this is a fair tradeoff given that this is all running in simulation anyway and seperate ZT0 tests would be 99% identical copies of the ZA only tests.
