This adds support for single-stepping the guest. To do this we need to
manipulate the guests PSTATE.SS and MDSCR_EL1.SS bits to trigger
stepping. We take care to preserve MDSCR_EL1 and trap access to it to
ensure we don't affect the apparent state of the guest.
As we have to enable trapping of all software debug exceptions we
suppress the ability of the guest to single-step itself. If we didn't we
would have to deal with the exception arriving while the guest was in
kernelspace when the guest is expecting to single-step userspace. This
is something we don't want to unwind in the kernel. Once the host is no
longer debugging the guest its ability to single-step userspace is
restored.

v2
- Move pstate/mdscr manipulation into C
- don't export guest_debug to assembly
- add accessor for saved_debug regs
- tweak save/restore of mdscr_el1
v3
- don't save PC in debug information struct
- rename debug_saved_regs->guest_debug_state
- save whole value, only use bits in restore
- add save/restore_guest-debug_regs helper functions
- simplify commit message for clarity
- rm vcpu_debug_saved_reg access fn
v4
- added more comments based on suggestions
- guest_debug_state->guest_debug_preserved
- no point masking restore, we will trap out
v5
- more comments
- don't bother preserving pstate.ss (guest never sees change)
v6
- reword comments on guest SS suppression
- simplify comment for save regs, SS explained in detail later on
- add r-b-t (code)
- expanded commit description
