gdbstub: add reverse step support in replay mode
GDB remote protocol supports two reverse debugging commands:
reverse step and reverse continue.
This patch adds support of the first one to the gdbstub.
Reverse step is intended to step one instruction in the backwards
direction. This is not possible in regular execution.
But replayed execution is deterministic, therefore we can load one of
the prior snapshots and proceed to the desired step. It is equivalent
to stepping one instruction back.
There should be at least one snapshot preceding the debugged part of
the replay log.
