[PATCH v9 6/6] tests/guest-debug: introduce basic gdbstub tests

From: Alex Bennée <alex at bennee.com>
The aim of these tests is to combine with an appropriate kernel
image (with symbol-file vmlinux) and check it behaves as it should.
Given a kernel it checks:
- single step
- software breakpoint
- hardware breakpoint
- access, read and write watchpoints
On success it returns 0 to the calling process.
I've not plumbed this into the "make check" logic though as we need a
solution for providing non-host binaries to the tests. However the test
is structured to work with pretty much any Linux kernel image as it
uses the basic kernel_init code which is common across architectures.
