[PATCH 00/12 V2] Use reinsert breakpoint for vCont;s


Here is the V2 of this patch series, V1 can be found
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-05/msg00358.html

Nowadays, reinsert breakpoint is used in GDBserver to step over a
breakpoint.  I want to use it to handle vCont;s too.  The idea is that
when GDBserver receives resume_step request from GDB, use the software
single step logic, insert reinsert_breakpoint on the next pcs, and
resume the thread.  This means we have multiple reinsert_breakpoints
for different threads for either step-over or vCont;s.

Patches 2~5 are the fixes to existing GDBserver problems on step-over
with reinsert_breakpoint in various cases (exit, fork, and vfork).
Although these 4 patches can be sent as another patch series, I still
include them in this series, as they are derived from the V1 review.

Patches 7 and 12 aren't changed.  All review comments are addressed
in the rest of patches.  Once this series goes in, I'll start to rename
'reinsert_breakpoint' and 'other_breakpoint' to match their usages in
GDBserver.

Regression tested on {x86_64, arm, aarch64}-linux.
