Power 10 introduces the 2nd DAWR (second watchpoint) and also removed
a restriction that limit the watch region to 512 bytes.

gdb/
* ppc-linux-nat.c: (PPC_DEBUG_FEATURE_DATA_BP_ARCH_31): New define.
(region_ok_for_hw_watchpoint): Check if 2nd DAWR is avaliable before set
region.
---
Changes in v3: Per Uli review. Use a new variable region_align instead
use a hardecode value.
