cortex_a: fix handling of Thumb-2 32bit breakpoints 

When debugging Thumb-2 code, Gdb will at times send a
breakpoint packet 'Z0,<addr>,3', the number 3 denoting that
the instruction to break on is 32 bits long. Handle this by
replacing it with two consecutive 16bit Thumb BKPTs and make
sure to save and restore the full, original 32bit
instruction.

Note that this fix is only applicable if you debug a bare-metal program
(like the linux kernel) with the 'wrong' gdb, e.g. use an 
"arm-linux" gdb instead of an "arm-eabi" gdb. But since most people
may not know about the subtle differences between gdb configurations
regarding thumb2 breakpoints it's still valid.
