target/arc: do not invalidate icache when (un)setting breakpoints 

Currently, instruction cache is being invalidated in
arc_{un,}set_breakpoint() regardless of whether the breakpoint's type is
HW or SW. For SW breakpoints, this has no net effect as the caches are
flushed as a by-product of overwriting instructions in main memory and
is thus merely unnecessary; but for HW breakpoints this invalidation is
not preceded by a flush and might lead to loss of data. This patch
removes the invalidate() call altogether to correct this undesired
behavior for HW breakpoints.

With this patch applied, all supported HW breakpoint tests from the gdb
testsuite are now passing with the arc-openocd backend.
