[PATCH 07/16 v3] Extended-remote arch-specific follow fork

This patch implements the architecture-specific pieces of follow-fork,
which in the current implementation copyies the parent's debug register
state into the new child's data structures. This is required for x86,
arm, aarch64, and mips.
I followed the native implementation as closely as I could by
implementing a new linux_target_ops function 'new_fork', which is
analogous to 'linux_nat_new_fork' in linux-nat.c. In gdbserver, the debug
registers are stored in the process list, instead of an
architecture-specific list, so the function arguments are process_info
pointers instead of an lwp_info and a pid as in the native implementation.
In the MIPS implementation the debug register mirror is stored differently
from x86, ARM, and aarch64, so instead of doing a simple structure assignment
I had to clone the list of watchpoint structures.
Tested using gdb.threads/watchpoint-fork.exp on x86, and ran manual tests
on a MIPS board and an ARM board.
I don't currently have access to an aarch64 board, so again if someone is
able to test this easily, please do.
Thanks
