When running
make RIOT_USE_PYCORTEXMDEBUG=1 debug
RIOT will now fetch PyCortexMDebug and instruct GDB to load that
extension on start. If additionally RIOT provides `SVD_VENDOR` and
`SVD_MODEL` to identify the SVD file to load, an
`svd_load $(SVD_VENDOR) $(SVD_CLIENT)` is also passed to GDB.

PyCortexMDebug
This is the RIOT integration of PyCortexMDebug, a GDB extension that allows inspecting and interpreting memory of MCUs based on the info provided in SVD files.
This integration adds PRs 58 and 59 on top of the upstream code. To get the CMSIS database, run:
wget -O ~/.cache/cmdebug/cmsis-svd-data.zip https://github.com/cmsis-svd/cmsis-svd-data/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
Automating Loading of Correct SVD File
If SVD_MODEL and SVD_VENDOR are declared, the build system will inject
an svd_load $(SVD_MODEL) $(SVD_VENDOR) command into GDB, so that users don't
need to call that themselves.
Ideally, those variables are provided in cpu/$(CPU)/Makefile.include
by inferring it from the $(CPU_MODEL) variable each board already provides.
