arm: Clarify the logic of set_pc()

Until now, the set_pc logic was unclear, which raised questions about
whether it should be used directly, applying a value to PC or adding
additional checks, for example, set the Thumb bit in Arm cpu. Let's set
the set_pc logic for “Configure the PC, as was done in the ELF file”
and implement synchronize_with_tb hook for preserving PC to cpu_tb_exec.
