gdbstub: Implement follow-fork-mode child

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.

+ * Forked child talks to its parent in order to let GDB enforce the
+ * follow-fork-mode. This happens inside a start_exclusive() section, so that
+ * the other threads, which may be forking too, do not interfere. The
+ * implementation relies on GDB not sending $vCont until it has detached
+ * either from the parent (follow-fork-mode child) or from the child
+ * (follow-fork-mode parent).
+ *
+ * The parent and the child share the GDB socket; at any given time only one
+ * of them is allowed to use it, as is reflected in the respective fork_state.
+ * This is negotiated via the fork_sockets pair as a reaction to $Hg.
+ *
+ * Below is a short summary of the possible state transitions:
+ *
+ *     ENABLED                     : Terminal state.
+ *     DISABLED                    : Terminal state.
+ *     ACTIVE                      : Parent initial state.
+ *     INACTIVE                    : Child initial state.
+ *     ACTIVE       -> DEACTIVATING: On $Hg.
+ *     ACTIVE       -> ENABLING    : On $D.
+ *     ACTIVE       -> DISABLING   : On $D.
+ *     ACTIVE       -> DISABLED    : On communication error.
+ *     DEACTIVATING -> INACTIVE    : On gdb_read_byte() return.
+ *     DEACTIVATING -> DISABLED    : On communication error.
+ *     INACTIVE     -> ACTIVE      : On $Hg in the peer.
+ *     INACTIVE     -> ENABLE      : On $D in the peer.
+ *     INACTIVE     -> DISABLE     : On $D in the peer.
+ *     INACTIVE     -> DISABLED    : On communication error.
+ *     ENABLING     -> ENABLED     : On gdb_read_byte() return.
+ *     ENABLING     -> DISABLED    : On communication error.
+ *     DISABLING    -> DISABLED    : On gdb_read_byte() return.
