This commit adds support for passing arguments to the GDB test scripts
so it's possible to parse the args in an "argparse way" in the test
scripts launched by the runner. The arguments should be preceded by --
when passed to the runner. For example, passing "--help" arg to the
GDB_TEST_SCRIPT:
run-test.py [...] --test <GDB_TEST_SCRIPT> -- --help
The test script should not use the argparse module directly but import
arg_parser from test_gdbstub module. arg_parser then can be used just
like the argparse.ArgumentParser class:
from test_gdbstub import arg_parser
p = arg_parser(prog="test-mytest.py", description="My test.")
p.add_argument("--vowel", help="Select vowel",
required=True, choices=['a','e','i','o','u'])
[...]
The arg_parser allows a smooth and informative exit if, for instance,
the caller of the runner script passes an invalid argument or misses a
required argument by the test script.

GDB commit a207f6b3a38 ('Rewrite "python" command exception handling')
changed how exit() called from Python scripts loaded by GDB behave,
turning it into an exception instead of a generic error code that is
returned. This change caused several QEMU tests to crash with the
following exception:
Python Exception <class 'SystemExit'>: 0
Error occurred in Python: 0
This happens because in tests/guest-debug/test_gdbstub.py exit is
called after the tests have completed.
This commit fixes it by politely asking GDB to exit via gdb.execute,
passing the proper fail_count to be reported to 'make', instead of
abruptly calling exit() from the Python script.

Both the report() function as well as the initial gdbstub test sequence
are copy-pasted into ~10 files with slight modifications. This
indicates that they are indeed generic, so factor them out. While
at it, add a few newlines to make the formatting closer to PEP-8.

This isn't directly called by our CI and because it doesn't run via
our run-test.py script does things slightly differently. Lets remove
it as we have plenty of working in-tree tests now for various aspects

Without -S we run into potential races with tests starting before the
gdbstub attaches. We don't need to worry about user-mode as enabling
the gdbstub implies we wait for the initial connection.

In the previous commit, we modified gdbstub.c to only send stop-reply
packets as a response to GDB commands that accept it. Now, let's add a
test for this intended behavior. Running this test before the fix from
the previous commit fails as QEMU sends a stop-reply packet
asynchronously, when GDB was in fact waiting an ACK.

There are a number of GDB's on various distros which fail fairly hard
when attempting to talk to a cross-arch guest. The previous attempt to
catch this was incorrect as the shell will deliver signals as 128+n.
Fix the detection and while we are it improve the logging we dump into
the test output.

This adds a new tests that allows us to test softmmu only features
including watchpoints. To do achieve this we need to:
- add _exit: labels to the boot codes
- write a memory.py test case
- plumb the test case into the build system
- tweak the run_test script to:
- re-direct output when asked
- use socket based connection for all tests
- add a small pause before connection

It seems older and non-multiarach aware GDBs might not fail gracefully
when faced with something they don't know. For example when faced with
a target XML for s390x the Ubuntu 18.04 gdb will generate an internal
fault and prompt for a core dump.
Work around this by invoking GDB in a more batch orientated way and
then trying to filter out between test failures and gdb failures.

The aim of these tests is to combine with an appropriate kernel
image (with symbol-file vmlinux) and check it behaves as it should.
Given a kernel it checks:
- single step
- software breakpoint
- hardware breakpoint
- access, read and write watchpoints
On success it returns 0 to the calling process.
I've not plumbed this into the "make check" logic though as we need a
solution for providing non-host binaries to the tests. However the test
is structured to work with pretty much any Linux kernel image as it
uses the basic kernel_init code which is common across architectures.
