bsd-user: Add '-one-insn-per-tb' option equivalent to '-singlestep'

Browse Source 
The '-singlestep' option is confusing, because it doesn't actually
have anything to do with single-stepping the CPU. What it does do
is force TCG emulation to put one guest instruction in each TB,
which can be useful in some situations.

Create a new command line argument -one-insn-per-tb, so we can
document that -singlestep is just a deprecated synonym for it,
and eventually perhaps drop it.

``-p pagesize``
Act as if the host page size was 'pagesize' bytes
``-one-insn-per-tb``
Run the emulation with one guest instruction per translation block.
This slows down emulation a lot, but can be useful in some situations,
such as when trying to analyse the logs produced by the ``-d`` option.
``-singlestep``
Run the emulation in single step mode.
This is a deprecated synonym for the ``-one-insn-per-tb`` option.
