Hmm, I don't think doing this change now is right.  If you connect GDB to a GDBserver
that hasn't been patched, this will fail because that GDBserver doesn't report
the QAgent feature, so it is an incompatible change of the protocol to require QAgent
for static tracepoint listing.
The right thing to do seems to be to just go ahead and try the target method call,
as before.  We could at a minimum check whether the "statictracepoints" qSupported
feature Was reported by the target, though that doesn't tell you whether the current
inferior has the IPA or UST loaded at all, only that the frontend stub understands
static tracepoints.  What was the motivation for these checks here?
