Subject[Patch 4/6] Watch trap handling for HARDWARE_WATCHPOINTS.
In this portion of the patch we hook up the watch trap handler.  When the
trap occurs, we copy the register contents into the thread_struct and
send SIGTRAP. If the current thread was not expecting the trap, the
watch register values must have been left over from a different context and
we just clear the registers and return.

Also I turn off the message the prints on each trap, as these traps are now
expected.
