cortex_a: warn on broken debug_base setting
A common problem with target configurations appears to be broken debug base address configuration. ARM DDI0406C.d specifies in App. D, 1.4.1, that bit 31 of the debug base address serves as identification of an external debugger, as opposed to an internal access to memory mapped debug registers by the CPU. External accesses are treated as privileged and require no debug authentification via the lock access register. Sometimes the base address of a debug component is wrong even in the targets' ROM table. In this case, the correct base address must be specified using the -dbgbase argument when creating the target. This patch adds a warning when bit 31 of the debug base address is not set, as a hint to the user.
