The sim-main.h header is a bit of a dumping ground. Every arch can
(and many do) define all sorts of weird & common names that end up
conflicting with system headers. So including it before the system
headers sets us up for pain. v850 is a good example of this -- when
building for mingw, we see weird failures:
$ i686-w64-mingw32-gcc ... -c -o dv-sockser.o ../../../../sim/v850/../common/dv-sockser.c
In file included from ../../../../sim/v850/sim-main.h:11,

../../../../sim/v850/../common/sim-base.h:97:32: error: expected ')' before '->' token
97 | # define STATE_CPU(sd, n) ((sd)->cpu[0])
| ^~
While gcc is unhelpful at first, running it through the preprocessor
by hand shows more details:
$ i686-w64-mingw32-gcc ... -E -dD -o dv-sockser.i ../../../../sim/v850/../common/dv-sockser.c
$ i686-w64-mingw32-gcc -c dv-sockser.i

This is because v850 sets up this common name:
All of this needs cleaning up someday, but since the dv-sockser code
definitely should be fixed in this way, lets do that now and unblock
the v850 code.
