microblaze: Add KGDB support

Browse Source 
Kgdb uses brki r16, 0x18 instruction to call
low level _debug_exception function which save
current state to pt_regs and call microblaze_kgdb_break
function. _debug_exception should be called only from
the kernel space. User space calling is not supported
because user application debugging uses different handling.

pt_regs_to_gdb_regs loads additional special registers
which can't be changed

 * Enable KGDB in Kconfig
 * Remove ancient not-tested KGDB support
 * Remove ancient _debug_exception code from entry.S

Only MMU KGDB support is supported.
