Encode information from breakpoint attributes into siginfo_t, which
helps disambiguate which breakpoint fired.
Note, providing the event fd may be unreliable, since the event may have
been modified (via PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES) between the event
triggering and the signal being delivered to user space.
