replay: introduce breakpoint at the specified step

This patch introduces replay_break, replay_delete_break
qmp and hmp commands.
These commands allow stopping at the specified instruction.
It may be useful for debugging when there are some known
events that should be investigated.
replay_break command has one argument - number of instructions
executed since the start of the replay.
replay_delete_break removes previously set breakpoint.

``replay_break`` *icount*
Set replay breakpoint at instruction count *icount*.
Execution stops when the specified instruction is reached.
There can be at most one breakpoint. When breakpoint is set, any prior
one is removed. The breakpoint may be set only in replay mode and only
"in the future", i.e. at instruction counts greater than the current one.
The current instruction count can be observed with ``info replay``.

SRST
``replay_delete_break``
Remove replay breakpoint which was previously set with ``replay_break``.
The command is ignored when there are no replay breakpoints.
