sim: watchpoints: use common sim_pc_get
Few arches implement STATE_WATCHPOINTS()->pc while all of them implement sim_pc_get. Lets switch the sim-watch core for monitoring pc events to the sim_pc_get API so this module works for all ports, and then we can delete this old back channel of snooping in the port's cpu state -- the code needs the pointer to the pc storage so that it can read out bytes and compare them to the watchrange. This also fixes the logic on multi-cpu sims by removing the limitation of only being able to watch CPU0's state.
