gdbstub: Rework configuration via command line and monitor (Jan Kiszka)

Introduce a more canonical gdbstub configuration (system emulation only)
via the new switch '-gdb dev'. Keep '-s' as shorthand for
'-gdb tcp::1234'. Use the same syntax also for the corresponding monitor
command 'gdbserver'. Its default remains to listen on TCP port 1234.

Changes in v4:
 - Rebased over new command line switches meta file

Changes in v3:
 - Fix documentation

Changes in v2:
 - Support for pipe-based like to gdb (target remote | qemu -gdb stdio)
 - Properly update the qemu-doc
