gdbstub: revert to previous set_reg behaviour
The refactoring of handle_set_reg missed the fact we previously had responded with an empty packet when we were not using XML based protocols. This broke the fallback behaviour for architectures that don't have registers defined in QEMU's gdb-xml directory. Revert to the previous behaviour and clean up the commentary for what is going on.
