ptrace: arch_has_single_step

Browse Source 
This defines the new macro arch_has_single_step() in linux/ptrace.h, a
default for when asm/ptrace.h does not define it.  It declares the new
user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step functions.
This is not used yet, but paves the way to harmonize on this interface
for the arch-specific calls on all machines.
