hw-breakpoints: Keep track of user disabled breakpoints

When we disable a breakpoint through dr7, we unregister it right
away, making us lose track of its corresponding address
register value.

It means that the following sequence would be unsupported:

 - set address in dr0
 - enable it through dr7
 - disable it through dr7
 - enable it through dr7

because we lost the address register value when we disabled the
breakpoint.

Don't unregister the disabled breakpoints but rather disable
them.
