[PATCH] target/riscv/gdbstub.c: use misa_mxl_max for GPR write width

riscv_cpu_gdb_write_register() decides whether to sign-truncate an
incoming GPR value to 32 bits based on env->xl, the hart current XLEN.
This is asymmetric with the rest of the gdbstub: both the read path
(riscv_cpu_gdb_read_register) and the target description size registers
off misa_mxl_max, the maximum XLEN. GDB therefore always exchanges
8-byte register fields for an RV64-max hart, but a write is truncated to
its low 32 bits whenever the hart happens to be executing in an RV32
privilege context (env->xl == MXL_RV32, e.g. S/U-mode with SXL/UXL
narrowed to 32). The upper 32 bits are silently dropped, so a debugger
cannot set the full 64-bit architectural register even though the CPU
state and the read path are 64-bit.

Key the write width off misa_mxl_max, matching the read path and the
advertised register size, so a full-width write is honored regardless of
the hart current privilege XLEN.
