[PATCH v3 2/5] cpukit/libdebugger: Add pure swbreak capability

Add a capability that allows for implementations that operate purely
using software breaks. Due to this implementation method, software
breaks must not be restored until just before returning control to the
thread itself and will be handled by the implementation through thread
switch and interrupt hooks.
