Separate the gdbstub from the debug core

Split the former kernel/kgdb.c into debug_core.c which contains the
kernel debugger exception logic and to the gdbstub.c which contains
the logic for allowing gdb to talk to the debug core.

This also created a private include file called debug_core.h which
contains all the definitions to glue the debug_core to any other
debugger connections.
