There was a report that the hardware breakpoints and watch points weren't
reporting the debug architecture version as expected, they were reporting
a version of 0 which is not defined in the architecture. This happens
when running in a KVM guest if the host has a debug architecture version
not supported by KVM, it in turn confuses GDB which rejects any debug
architecture version it does not know about.
Add a test that covers that situation and while we're at it reports the
debug architecture version and number of slots available to aid with
figuring out problems that may arise.
