Recognize more program breakpoint patterns

New in v3:

- Code cleanups based on reviews.

New in v2:

- Fixed misc problems based on reviews.
- Switched to using gdbarch_program_breakpoint_here_p as opposed to
gdbarch_insn_is_breakpoint.
- Fixed matching of brk instructions. Previously the mask was incorrect, which
was showing up as a few failures in the testsuite. Now it is clean.
- New testcase (separate patch).
- Moved program_breakpoint_here () to arch-utils.c and made it the default
implementation of gdbarch_program_breakpoint_here_p.

It was reported to me that program breakpoints (permanent ones inserted into
the code itself) other than the one GDB uses for AArch64 (0xd4200000) do not
generate visible stops when continuing, and GDB will continue spinning
infinitely.

This happens because GDB, upon hitting one of those program breakpoints, thinks
the SIGTRAP came from a delayed breakpoint hit...

...

... which is not the case.

If the program breakpoint is one GDB recognizes, then it will stop when it
hits it.

problem_function () at brk_0.c:7

infrun: infrun_async(0)

Otherwise GDB will keep trying to resume the inferior and will keep
seeing the SIGTRAP's, without stopping.

To the user it appears GDB has gone into an infinite loop, interruptible only
by Ctrl-C.

Also, windbg seems to use a different variation of AArch64 breakpoint compared
to GDB. This causes problems when debugging Windows on ARM binaries, when
program breakpoints are being used.

The proposed patch creates a new gdbarch method (gdbarch_program_breakpoint_here_p)
that tells GDB whether the underlying instruction is a breakpoint instruction
or not.

This is more general than only checking for the instruction GDB uses as
breakpoint.

The existing logic is still preserved for targets that do not implement this
new gdbarch method.

The end result is like so:

=> 0x4005c0 <problem_function>: brk     #0x90f
