[patch] Fix gdbserver vRun parsing again


As part of closing PR 2474, I took another look at Pedro's fix last
month to vRun.  I approved it at the time but now I can see that he
and I were both a little confused about the documented semantics :-(

With Pedro's patch, "target extended-remote", "run one", "run two"
will never run the program with argv[1] == "two".  We're always
supposed to use the new argv.  "vRun;" means "old program, no args";
"vRun;;XXXX" means "old program, decoded arg XXXX".

This patch seems to do the right thing; Pedro, want to take a look at
this obviously tricky code before I change it?
