MIPS/Linux/native: Supply $zero for the !PTRACE_GETREGS case

With native MIPS/Linux targets the $zero register is inaccessible, with
its supposed context slot provided by the OS occupied by the $restart
register.  The PTRACE_GETREGS path takes care of it by artificially
supplying the hardwired contents of $zero in `mips_supply_gregset' or
`mips64_supply_gregset', as applicable, however the PTRACE_PEEKUSER
fallback does not, making the register unavailable, e.g.:

(gdb)

or (under certain circumstances):

(gdb) stepi
Register 0 is not available
(gdb)

This is specifically because `mips_linux_register_addr' and
`mips64_linux_register_addr', both correctly return -1 for
MIPS_ZERO_REGNUM, and therefore `linux_nat_trad_target::fetch_registers'
faithfully marks this register as unavailable.

Supply this register artificially then in the PTRACE_PEEKUSER case as
well, correcting this issue.

	Supply the MIPS_ZERO_REGNUM register.
