Modified Files:
        src/doc: TODO.ptrace

Log Message:
Update TODO.ptrace

Remove entries:
 - remove exect(3) from libc - there is no usecase for it

Interface has been marked obsolete and it's on the queue to be removed for.

 - research what happens when a tracee masks signals (including SIGTRAP) and a
   breakpoint is triggered

It has been researched and ATF tests added (signal1 .. signal10).
It's currently broken on NetBSD.

Add:
 - research support PT_SYSCALL & PT_STEP combined like in Linux

There are circumstances when we want to sstep and catch syscall events.
