[PATCH v10 3/6] target-arm: kvm - support for single step

This adds support for single-step. There isn't much to do on the QEMU
side as after we set-up the request for single step via the debug ioctl
it is all handled within the kernel.

The actual setting of the KVM_GUESTDBG_SINGLESTEP flag is already in the
common code. If the kernel doesn't support guest debug the ioctl will
simply error.
