[PATCHv2] aarch64: detect atomic sequences like other ll/sc architectures


Add similar single-stepping over atomic sequences support like other
load-locked/store-conditional architectures (alpha, powerpc, arm, etc.)
do. Verified the decode_masked_match, and decode_bcond works against the
atomic sequences used in the Linux kernel atomic.h, and also gcc
libatomic. Thanks to Richard Henderson for feedback on my initial
attempt at this patch, and for the feedback from gdb-patches, which I
hope I've addressed...

gdb:
	* aarch64-tdep.c (aarch64_deal_with_atomic_sequence): New function.
	(aarch64_gdbarch_init): Handle single stepping of atomic sequences
	with aarch64_deal_with_atomic_sequence.

gdb/testsuite:
	* gdb.arch/aarch64-atomic-inst.c: New file.
	* gdb.arch/aarch64-atomic-inst.exp: New file.
