Force to insert software single step breakpoint

GDB doesn't insert software single step breakpoint if the instruction
branches to itself, so that the program can't stop after command "si".

breakpoint.c:should_be_inserted thinks the breakpoint shouldn't be
inserted, which is wrong.  This patch restrict the condition that
only skip the non-single-step breakpoints if they are inserted at
the place we are stepping over, however we don't want to skip
single-step breakpoint if its thread is the thread we are stepping
over, so in this patch, I add a thread num in 'struct step_over_info'
to record the thread we're stepping over.

	* breakpoint.c (should_be_inserted): Return 0 if the location's
	owner is not single step breakpoint or single step breakpoint's
	thread isn't the thread which is stepping past a breakpoint.
	* gdbarch.sh (software_single_step): Update comments.
	* gdbarch.h: Regenerated.
	* infrun.c (struct step_over_info) <thread>: New field.
	(set_step_over_info): New argument 'thread'.  Callers updated.
	(clear_step_over_info): Set field thread to -1.
	(thread_is_stepping_over_breakpoint): New function.
	* infrun.h (thread_is_stepping_over_breakpoint): Declaration.
