arch/x86: Add support for catching null dereferences through debug regs
This commit adds support for catching null dereferences and execution through x86's debug registers. This is particularly useful when running 32-bit coreboot as paging is not enabled to catch these through page faults. This commit adds three new configs to support this feature: DEBUG_HW_BREAKPOINTS, DEBUG_NULL_DEREF_BREAKPOINTS and DEBUG_NULL_DEREF_HALT.
BUG=b:223902046 TEST=Ran on nipperkin device, verifying that HW breakpoints work as expected.
