If we turn "remote debug" on and GDB does some vFile operations,
a lot of things will be printed in the screen, which makes
"remote debug" useless.

This patch changes the code that we don't print messages if
messages are too long, greater than 512.  Instead, print
"Sending packet: $vFile:pread:5,3fff,e0d12#c4...Packet received: [16384 bytes omitted]".

How about not printing binary data at all and instead print some usefulinformation about contents being sent? Like the number of bytes andmaybe how many still need to be read?
