Skip 'bx reg' trampoline on arm-none-eabi
After this patch
<https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2005-01/msg00813.html> applied to
GCC, a new trampoline is generated but GDB doesn't recognize it. This
patch is to teach GDB to understand this trampoline. See details
about this trampoline and the heuristics in the comments.

* arm-tdep.c (arm_skip_bx_reg): New function.
(arm_skip_stub): Call arm_skip_bx_reg.
