Currently it's not possible to use gdbstub for debugging linux-user
code that runs in a forked child, which is normally done using the `set
follow-fork-mode child` GDB command. Purely on the protocol level, the
missing piece is the fork-events feature.
However, a deeper problem is supporting $Hg switching between different
processes - right now it can do only threads. Implementing this for the
general case would be quite complicated, but, fortunately, for the
follow-fork-mode case there are a few factors that greatly simplify
things: fork() happens in the exclusive section, there are only two
processes involved, and before one of them is resumed, the second one
is detached.
This makes it possible to implement a simplified scheme: the parent and
the child share the gdbserver socket, it's used only by one of them at
any given time, which is coordinated through a separate socketpair. The
processes can read from the gdbserver socket only one byte at a time,
which is not great for performance, but, fortunately, the
follow-fork-mode handling involves only a few messages.
Advertise the fork-events support, and remember whether GDB has it
as well. Implement the state machine that is initialized on fork(),
decides the current owner of the gdbserver socket, and is terminated
when one of the two processes is detached. The logic for the parent and
the child is the same, only the initial state is different.

Previously, qemu-user would always report PID 1 to GDB. This was changed
at dc14a7a6e9 (gdbstub: Report the actual qemu-user pid, 2023-06-30),
but read_thread_id() still considers GDB packets with "no PID" as "PID
1", which is not the qemu-user PID. Fix that by parsing "no PID" as "0",
which the GDB Remote Protocol defines as "any process".
Note that this should have no effect for system emulation as, in this
case, gdb_create_default_process() will assign PID 1 for the first
process and that is what the gdbstub uses for GDB requests with no PID,
or PID 0.
This issue was found with hexagon-lldb, which sends a "Hg" packet with
only the thread-id, but no process-id, leading to the invalid usage of
"PID 1" by qemu-hexagon and a subsequent "E22" reply.

The gdb remote protocol has a special interrupt character (0x03) that is
transmitted outside the regular packet processing, and represents a
Ctrl-C pressed in the client. Despite not being a regular packet, it
does expect a regular stop response if the stub successfully stops the
running program.
See: https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Interrupts.html
Inhibiting the stop reply packet can lead to gdb client hang. So permit
a stop response when receiving a character from gdb that stops the vm.
Additionally, add a warning if that was not a 0x03 character, because
the gdb session is likely to end up getting confused if this happens.

Currently the GDB's generate-core-file command doesn't work well with
qemu-user: the resulting dumps are huge [1] and at the same time
incomplete (argv and envp are missing). The reason is that GDB has no
access to proc mappings and therefore has to fall back to using
heuristics for discovering them. This is, in turn, because qemu-user
does not implement the Host I/O feature of the GDB Remote Serial
Protocol.
Implement vFile:{open,close,pread,readlink} and also
qXfer:exec-file:read+. With that, generate-core-file begins to work on
aarch64 and s390x.

Currently qemu-user reports pid 1 to GDB. Resolve the TODO and report
the actual PID. Using getpid() relies on the assumption that there is
only one GDBProcess. Add an assertion to make sure that future changes
don't break it.

These functions will be needed by user-target.c in order to retrieve
the name of the executable.
