hmp: Add 'one-insn-per-tb' command equivalent to 'singlestep'

The 'singlestep' HMP command is confusing, because it doesn't
actually have anything to do with single-stepping the CPU.  What it
does do is force TCG emulation to put one guest instruction in each
TB, which can be useful in some situations.

Create a new HMP command  'one-insn-per-tb', so we can document that
'singlestep' is just a deprecated synonym for it, and eventually
perhaps drop it.

We aren't obliged to do deprecate-and-drop for HMP commands,
but it's easy enough to do so, so we do.
