Add arch_ptrace_stop

This adds support to allow asm/ptrace.h to define two new macros,
arch_ptrace_stop_needed and arch_ptrace_stop.  These control special
machine-specific actions to be done before a ptrace stop.  The new code
compiles away to nothing when the new macros are not defined.  This is the
case on all machines to begin with.

On ia64, these macros will be defined to solve the long-standing issue of
ptrace vs register backing store.
