We recently introduced plugin API for the registration of callbacks for
discontinuity events, specifically for interrupts, exceptions and host
call events. The callback receives various bits of information,
including the VCPU index and PCs.
This change introduces a test plugin asserting the correctness of that
behaviour in cases where this is possible with reasonable effort. Since
instruction PCs are recorded at translation blocks translation time and
a TB may be used in multiple processes running in distinct virtual
memory, the plugin allows comparing not full addresses but a subset of
address bits via the `compare-addr-bits` option.

Pierrick: I did implement the changes you requested, but I did not add
your Reviewed-By because I felt the changes were not trivial enough to
not require a new, coarse review.
