[PATCH v2 5/5] Extend "set cwd" to work on gdbserver


This is the "natural" extension necessary for the "set cwd" command
(and the whole "set the inferior's cwd" logic) to work on gdbserver.

The idea here is to have a new remote packet, QSetWorkingDir (name
adopted from LLDB's extension to the RSP, as can be seen at
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/llvm-mirror/lldb/master/docs/lldb-gdb-remote.txt>),
which sends an hex-encoded string representing the working directory
that gdbserver is supposed to cd into before executing the inferior.
The good thing is that since this feature is already implemented on
nat/fork-inferior.c, all gdbserver has to do is to basically implement
"set_inferior_cwd" and call it whenever such packet arrives.

Aside from that, the patch consists basically of updates to the
testcase (making it available on remote targets) the documentation.

No regressions found.

gdb/ChangeLog:
yyyy-mm-dd  Sergio Durigan Junior  <sergiodj@redhat.com>

	* NEWS (Changes since GDB 8.0): Add entry about new
	'set-cwd-on-gdbserver' feature.

	* infcmd.c (set_inferior_cwd): Remove "static".
	* remote.c: Add PACKET_QSetWorkingDir.
	(remote_protocol_features) <QSetWorkingDir>: New entry for
	PACKET_QSetWorkingDir.
	(extended_remote_handle_inferior_cwd): New function.
