[aarch64] Check region OK for HW watchpoint in GDBserver

Nowadays, if user requests HW watchpoint to monitor a large memory area
or unaligned area, aarch64 GDB will split into multiple aligned areas,
and use multiple debugging registers to watch them.  However, the
registers are not updated in a transaction way.  GDBserver doesn't revert
updates in previous iterations if some debugging registers fail to update
due to some reason, like no free debugging registers available, in the
latter iteration.  For example, if we have a char buf[34], and watch buf
in gdb,

(gdb) watch buf
Hardware watchpoint 2: buf
(gdb) c

GDB receives E01 for Z2 packet [1] but GDBserver updates the debugging
register status,

four debugging registers can not monitor 34-byte long area, so the last
iteration of updating debugging register state fails but previous
iterations succeed.  This makes GDB think no HW watchpoint is inserted
but some debugging registers are used.

This problem was exposed by "watch buf" gdb.base/watchpoint.exp with
aarch64 GDBserver debugging arm 32-bit program.  The buf is 30-byte long
but 4-byte aligned, and four debugging registers can't cover 34-byte
(extend 4 bytes to be 8-byte aligned) area.  However, this problem
does exist on non-multi-arch debugging scenario as well.

This patch moves code in aarch64_linux_region_ok_for_hw_watchpoint to
aarch64_linux_region_ok_for_watchpoint in nat/aarch64-linux-hw-point.c.
Then, checks with aarch64_linux_region_ok_for_watchpoint, like what we
are doing in GDB.  If the region is OK, call aarch64_handle_watchpoint.

Regression tested on aarch64 with both 64-bit program and 32-bit
program.  Some fails in gdb.base/watchpoint.exp are fixed.
