[PATCH] Support targets that know how to step over breakpoints

Hi,
Most of the targets we deal with need to be told to lift off breakpoints
from the inferior prior to single-stepping. A few targets are able to
just step over those breakpoints without being told so.
In the latter case, GDB assumes the target knows how to manage
breakpoints on its own.
gdbserver does not know how to do this unless we force this mechanism
into it, but, honestly, i don't see the point. Usually targets that know
how to step over breakpoints do so via a more low level interface like
the kernel. Let me know if you think otherwise.
