ARC: pt_regs update #5: Use real ECR for pt_regs->event vs. synth values

pt_regs->event was set with artificial values to identify the low level
system event (syscall trap / breakpoint trap / exceptions / interrupts)

With r8 saving out of the way, the full word can be used to save real
ECR (Exception Cause Register) which helps idenify the event naturally,
including additional info such as cause code, param.
Only for Interrupts, where ECR is not applicable, do we resort to
synthetic non ECR values.

SAVE_ALL_TRAP/EXCEPTIONS can now be merged as they both use ECR with
different runtime values.

The ptrace helpers now use the sub-fields of ECR to distinguish the
events (e.g. vector 0x25 is trap, param 0 is syscall...)

The following benefits will follow:

(1) This centralizes the location of where ECR is saved and will allow
    the cleanup of task->thread.cause_code ECR placeholder which is set
    in non-uniform way. Then ARC VM code can safely rely on it being
    there for purpose of finer grained VM_EXEC dcache flush (based on
    exec fault: I-TLB Miss)

(2) Further, ECR being passed around from low level handlers as arg can
    be eliminated as it is part of standard reg-file in pt_regs
