    ppc: use "trap" ("tw, 31, 0, 0") as breakpoint instruction
    
    Power ISA 3.0 B spec [1], sections 3.3.11 "Fixed-Point Trap Instructions"
    and section C.6 "Trap Mnemonics" specify "tw, 31, 0, 0" (encoded as
    0x7fe00008) as canonical unconditional trap instruction.
    
    This commit changes the breakpoint instruction used by GDB from
    "tw 12, r2, r2" to unconditional "trap".
