Debugging 16-bit/real mode code in QEMU+GDB is challenging due to
incorrect architecture detection and segmented memory addressing issues.

This patch improves the debugging experience by reporting i8086
architecture to GDB when in real mode and converting segmented addresses
(CS:EIP, SS:ESP) to their physical equivalents when reporting to GDB.
This enables proper instruction disassembly and stack inspection without
complex workarounds.

Note: Mode switches after GDB attachment still require manual
architecture change, as GDB RSP does not support runtime architecture
switches.
