Auto merge of #1733 - Smittyvb:breakpoint-intrinsic, r=RalfJung

Support breakpoint intrinsic

The `breakpoint` intrinsic raises a `SIGTRAP` signal. If a debugger is attached to a normal program, then `SIGTRAP` can be used to trigger breakpoints in debuggers like `gdb`. If there is no debugger, then the program exits with a message like `Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)`. This adds support for the intrinsic in Miri. While actually passing through the `SIGTRAP` doesn't make sense in a Miri context (if it just raised the signal normally then it would allow for debugging Miri itself, not the program being evaluated). As such, it just raises an error.
