[PATCH] [PR gdb/23210] Unset gdbarch significant_addr_bit by default


This patch fixes a bug introduced by fix to AArch64 pointer tagging.

In our fix for tagged pointer support our agreed approach was to sign
extend user-space address after clearing tag bits. This is not same
for all architectures and this patch allows sign extension for
addresses on targets which specifically set significant_addr_bit.

More information about patch that caused the issues and discussion
around tagged pointer support can be found in links below:
