[PATCH 01/11] memattrs: add debug attribute

Extend the MemTxAttrs to include a 'debug' flag. The flag can be used as
general indicator that operation was triggered by the debugger.

A subsequent patch will set the debug=1 when issuing a memory access
from the gdbstub or HMP commands. This is a prerequisite to support
debugging an encrypted guest. When a request with debug=1 is seen, the
encryption APIs will be used to access the guest memory.
