ETM: add "etm trigger_debug" command

In conjunction with manual register setup, this lets the ETM trigger
cause entry to debug state.   It should make it easier to test and
bugfix the ETM code, by enabling non-trace usage and isolating bugs
specific to thef ETM support.  (One current issue being that trace
data collection using the ETB doesn't yet behave.)

For example, many ARM9 cores with an ETM should be able to implement
four more (simple) breakpoints and two more (simple) watchpoints than
the EmbeddedICE supports.  Or, they should be able to support complex
breakpoints, incorporating ETM sequencer, counters, and/or subroutine
entry/exit criteria int criteria used to trigger debug entry.

@deffn Command {etm trigger_debug} (@option{enable}|@option{disable})
Displays whether ETM triggering debug entry (like a breakpoint) is
enabled or disabled, after optionally modifying that configuration.
The default behaviour is @option{disable}.
Any change takes effect after the next @command{etm start}.
By using script commands to configure ETM registers, you can make the
processor enter debug state automatically when certain conditions,
more complex than supported by the breakpoint hardware, happen.

@subsection ETM Trace Operation
After setting up the ETM, you can use it to collect data.
