Enable hardware watchpoints on attach for aarch64
This commit fixes a bug whereby hardware watchpoints are not used on aarch64 when attaching to a target. The fix adds an aarch64 specialization of post_attach which records the number of available hardware debug registers using aarch64_linux_get_debug_reg_capacity. This implementation mirrors that of aarch64_linux_child_post_startup_inferior which successfully enables the use of hardware watchpoints when launching the target under the debugger. gdb/ChangeLog: * aarch64-linux-nat.c (post_attach): New. (aarch64_linux_nat_target::post_attach): Override post_attach to record the number of hardware debug registers. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.base/watchpoint-hw-attach.c: New test. * gdb.base/watchpoint-hw-attach.exp: New file.
