LoongArch: Add hardware breakpoints/watchpoints support
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.
