Add --dm-no-abstractauto flag to disable support for the optional abstractauto register. When disabled, writes to the register are ignored and the internal state is kept at 0. Currently, neither riscv-openocd nor openocd support batch reads or writes for debug modules that don’t implement abstractauto, as both assume every debug module provides abstractauto support. However, work is underway to remove this dependency.
