[PATCH] sh4: ensure FPSCR.PR==0 when executing FRCHG [BZ #27543]

If the bit is not 0, the operations FRCHG and FSCHG are
undefined and cause a trap; qemu now checks for this as
well, so we set it to 0 temporarily and restore the old
value in getcontext afterwards (setcontext/swapcontext
already do so).

From the discussion in the bugreport, this can probably
be optimised in one place but none of the people involved
are SH4 assembly experts, this patch is field-tested, and
it’s not a code path run often. The other question, what
happens if a signal occurs while the bit is temporarily 0,
is also still unsolved, but to fix that a kernel change is
most likely needed; this patch changes a certain trap on
many CPUs for a hard-to-get trap in a signal handler if a
signal is delivered during the few instructions the PR bit
is temporarily set to 0, so it’s not a regression for most
users.

See BZ and https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1796520 for
related discussion, references and review comments.
