Omit RIP from the emulator's _regs array, which is used only for GPRs,
i.e. registers that can be referenced via ModRM and/or SIB bytes.  The
emulator uses the dedicated _eip field for RIP, and manually reads from
_eip to handle RIP-relative addressing.

To avoid an even bigger, slightly more dangerous change, hardcode the
number of GPRs to 16 for the time being even though 32-bit KVM's emulator
technically should only have 8 GPRs.  Add a TODO to address that in a
future commit.

See also the comments above the read_gpr() and write_gpr() declarations,
and obviously the handling in writeback_registers().

No functional change intended.
