New rts Message to {set,unset} TSO flags

This commit introduces stg_MSG_SET_TSO_FLAG_info and
stg_MSG_UNSET_TSO_FLAG_info, which allows setting flags of a TSO other
than yourself.

This is especially useful/necessary to set breakpoints and toggle
breakpoints of different threads, which is needed to safely implement
features like pausing, toggling step-out, toggling step-in per thread,
etc.

Fixes #27131 (closed)
