powerpc, hw_breakpoint: Handle concurrent alignment interrupts



If an alignment interrupt occurs on an instruction that is being
single-stepped, the alignment interrupt handler currently handles
the single-step condition by unconditionally sending a SIGTRAP to
the process.  Other synchronous interrupts that result in the
instruction being emulated do likewise.

With hw_breakpoint support, the hw_breakpoint code needs to be able
to intercept these single-step events as well as those where the
instruction executes normally and a trace interrupt happens.

Fix this by making emulate_single_step() use the existing
single_step_exception() function instead of calling _exception()
directly.  We then make single_step_exception() use the abstracted
clear_single_step() rather than clearing bits in the MSR image
directly so that emulate_single_step() will continue to work
correctly on Book 3E processors.
