This fixes a bug where writing vg during streaming mode could prevent you 
reading za directly afterwards.

vg is invalided when the write happens. SVE is reconfigured by reading back the 
new value from the remote. So far so good.

For SME, we read SVG which in some situations appeared to remain valid but have 
a value of 0 (perhaps it had never been read). This meant lldb expected the 
size of za to be 0 bytes and rejected the remote's response.

To fix this, invalidate svg before reconfiguring. This ensures that the value 
used is the latest one from the remote.

The bug may depend on timing, I could not find a consistent way to trigger it. 
I originally found it when checking whether za is disabled after a vg change, 
so I've added checks for that to TestZAThreadedDynamic.

This fixes a bug where writing vg during streaming mode

vg is invalided when the write happens. SVE is reconfigured
by reading back the new value from the remote. So far so good.

is disabled after a vg change, so I've added checks for that
to TestZAThreadedDynamic.
