Handle mapped program memory segment aliasing properly, on WCH RISC-V targets

- Added `program_segment_key` target config param, to allow the user to specify the desired program memory segment
- Added the ability to resolve the currently aliased segment, by means of probing the mapped segment
- Added program counter transformation, when the mapped segment is aliasing a foreign segment
- Other bites of tidying

* The target's mapped segment no longer aliases the selected program segment.

* Imagine starting a debug session with GDB, then replacing the entire program being debugged with a
* totally different program, whilst GDB is still running and the same debug session is still active.
* Understandably, GDB would become very confused by this, as it has no idea what just happened, or why
* the program it was observing just moments ago has suddenly disappeared and been replaced by another.
*
* This is essentially what has just happened. The mapped segment initially aliased one segment in
* program memory, but now, all of a sudden, it appears to be aliasing a different segment. This can
* happen when the target switches to a different mode of operation. When the target is in "user mode",
* the mapped segment aliases the main program segment. But when the target is in "boot mode", the
* mapped segment aliases the boot segment. The program running on the target can invoke a mode switch
* by writing to a register and performing a software reset.
*
* So, we have a program counter that's addressing a totally different program, but to most external
* entities, it will appear as if it's addressing the same program.
*
* In order to avoid causing havoc and potentially misleading the user, we transform the PC to its
* aliased address. That way, it will be clear to all external entities, that the target is currently
* executing code in a different memory segment to the one that was selected for debugging.
