LoongArch: Add hardware breakpoints/watchpoints support

Browse source 
Use perf framework to manage hardware instruction and data breakpoints.

LoongArch defines hardware watchpoint functions for instruction fetch
and memory load/store operations. After the software configures hardware
watchpoints, the processor hardware will monitor the access address of
the instruction fetch and load/store operation, and trigger an exception
of the watchpoint when it meets the conditions set by the watchpoint.

The hardware monitoring points for instruction fetching and load/store
operations each have a register for the overall configuration of all
monitoring points, a register for recording the status of all monitoring
points, and four registers required for configuration of each watchpoint
individually.
