When record/replay does not uses overlays for storing the snapshots,
user is not capable of issuing reverse debugging commands.
This patch adds creation of the VM snapshot on the temporary
overlay image, when the debugger connects to QEMU.
Therefore the execution can be rewind to the moment
of the debugger connection while debugging the virtual machine.

This patch adds support of the reverse continue operation for gdbstub.
Reverse continue finds the last breakpoint that would happen in normal
execution from the beginning to the current moment.
Implementation of the reverse continue replays the execution twice:
to find the breakpoints that were hit and to seek to the last breakpoint.
Reverse continue loads the previous snapshot and tries to find the breakpoint
since that moment. If there are no such breakpoints, it proceeds to
the earlier snapshot, and so on. When no breakpoints or watchpoints were
hit at all, execution stops at the beginning of the replay log.

GDB remote protocol supports two reverse debugging commands:
reverse step and reverse continue.
This patch adds support of the first one to the gdbstub.
Reverse step is intended to step one instruction in the backwards
direction. This is not possible in regular execution.
But replayed execution is deterministic, therefore we can load one of
the prior snapshots and proceed to the desired step. It is equivalent
to stepping one instruction back.
There should be at least one snapshot preceding the debugged part of
the replay log.

This patch adds hmp/qmp commands replay_seek/replay-seek that proceed
the execution to the specified instruction count.
The command automatically loads nearest snapshot and replays the execution
to find the desired instruction count.

This patch introduces replay_break, replay_delete_break
qmp and hmp commands.
These commands allow stopping at the specified instruction.
It may be useful for debugging when there are some known
events that should be investigated.
replay_break command has one argument - number of instructions
executed since the start of the replay.
replay_delete_break removes previously set breakpoint.

This patch introduces 'info replay' monitor command and
corresponding qmp request.
These commands request the current record/replay mode, replay log file
name, and the instruction count (number of recorded/replayed
instructions). The instruction count can be used with the
replay_seek/replay_break commands added in the next two patches.
