Previously, the test UI logic would constantly regenerate and print the
screen's contents every iteration of the main processing loop to naively
ensure that changes to the underlying system were reflected immediately.
Sometimes, this would result in a screen flicker due to the rapid
clearing and printing.
This makes the UI a bit smarter about when refreshes occur, by
monitoring activity results from the debugger and console modules in
addition to user input. This should improve the screen flicker
performance.
This also addresses an issue selecting text on the screen, which was
previously not possible due to the rapid refreshing as well.

Abstract architecture details into architecture.h and add x86 constants.
This is slightly complicated by the fact that 64-bit hosts can run
32-bit code, so we do still need to resolve some values dynamically.
The architecture_info() function is intented to address this, and
performs parameter lookups based on the current state of the guest
process.
Resolving values on a per-process-state basis is important due to the
process model under Linux. If we fork to debug a 32-bit program, the
forked process will be native 64-bit until the execve system call. And
of course, the process is then free to exec anything it likes later on
as well.

I don't think this is strictly necessary, just seemed like a good idea.
However, this function doesn't seem to be available on my test ARM
system, so it is removed for compatibility.

Display the value of active breakpoint threads, target stack frames, and
enable status.

The debugger design prefers to use PTRACE_SEIZE instead of
PTRACE_ATTACH, due to the simpler thread control semantics that are
available.
However, to utilize the same featureset for forked processes, we can no
longer use PTRACE_TRACEME to guarantee that the child becomes a tracee
before it execs into the target program.
Manually raising SIGSTOP to act as a synchronization point is
problematic for a couple reasons:
- We need to detect whether the special SIGSTOP was or was not yet
encountered by the time our debugger module attaches and
interrupts the thread. This complicates the dance of input
controls to ensure we are at the exec (and nowhere else) when the
real user takes over the controls.
- The injection of an extra signal circumvents the benefits we hope
to leverage by using the PTRACE_SEIZE semantics. We can no longer
assume that all incoming signals are genuine.
For the time being, sleep in the newly forked child for the scheduler
delay period. This is not bullet-proof, but tends to allow the debugger
module enough time to actually seize the thread before anything
interesting happens. At this point a single dbg_cont() will cause the
child to arrive and stop at the user's exec.

This is vaguely competent at tracing single-threaded programs. Vi-like
keybinds defined in misplays.c.
