signals: demultiplexing SIGTRAP signal

Currently a SIGTRAP can denote any one of below reasons.
	- Breakpoint hit
	- H/W debug register hit
	- Single step
	- Signal sent through kill() or rasie()

Architectures like powerpc/parisc provides infrastructure to demultiplex
SIGTRAP signal by passing down the information for receiving SIGTRAP through
si_code of siginfot_t structure. Here is an attempt is generalise this
infrastructure by extending it to x86 and x86_64 archs.
