[Pdbg] [PATCH 1/2] libpdbg/chip: implement putnia with a sequence compatible with P9

P9 MTNIA uses LR as the source register, so set LR as well as GPR0.
This will work on P8 and P9. This is a bit ugly, but it will work
until we have general getspr/putspr calls for target backends.

These require Rashmica's "pdbg: Fix function call for putnia command"
patch to test properly.
