hw_breakpoints: Allow arch-specific cleanup before breakpoint unregistration 

Certain architectures (such as PowerPC) have a need to clean up data
structures before a breakpoint is unregistered.  This introduces an
arch-specific hook in release_bp_slot() along with a weak definition
in the form of a stub function.
