Nowadays, GDBserver only support conditional breakpoint for HW single
step target. Whether GDBserver support conditional breakpoint for SW
single step target is a separate issue, and we can decide this once we
have SW single step in GDBserver.
I believe GDBserver can compute the next instruction of $PC for SW
single step, but GDBserver execution control (target independent part)
will be more complicated if SW single step is involved in.
