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.
