The new single stepping implementation for x86 doesn't rely on any ISA
specific properties or functionality. This change pulls out the per ISA
implementation of those functions and promotes the X86 implementation to the
base class.
One drawback of that implementation is that the CPU might stop on an
instruction twice if it's affected by both breakpoints and single stepping.
While that might be a little surprising, it's harmless and would only happen
under somewhat unlikely circumstances.

Not all ISAs have 64 bit sized registers, so it's not always very convenient
to access the GDB register cache in 64 bit sized chunks. This change makes it
accessible in 8, 16, 32, or 64 bit chunks. The MIPS and ARM implementations
were working around that limitation by bundling and unbundling 32 bit values
into 64 bit values. That code has been removed.

So a mips-cross-gdb can connect with gem5(MIPS_SE), and do some remote
debugging.
Testing:
Build gem5 for MIPS_SE and make gem5 wait at beginning:
modify "rgdb_wait = -1" to "rgdb_wait = 0" in src/sim/system.cc;
scons build/MIPS_SE/gem5.opt CPU_MODELS=O3CPU
----
Build GDB-7.3 mips-cross:
./configure --target=mips-linux-gnu --prefix=xxx/gdb-7.3-install/
make
make install
----
Run:
./build/MIPS_SE/gem5.opt configs/example/se.py --detailed --caches
./mips-linux-gnu-gdb xxx/gem5/tests/test-progs/hello/bin/mips/linux/hello
(gdb) target remote :7000
(gdb) info registers
(gdb) disassemble
(gdb) si
(gdb) break main
(gdb) c
(gdb) quit
Testing done.
