GDB 8.2 branch 2018-06-11 Update

[Joel Brobecker]

Hello everyone,

I hinted in a message I sent a couple of weeks ago on this mailing-list
(https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-05/msg00821.html),
we should be getting ready for the next GDB release branch (8.2).

So far, I have received the following requests. I tried to find
relevant URLs whenever possible, but please update me if you have
a better one.

  * (AlanH) gdb/gdbserver support for aarch64 SVE
    [v2] https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-06/msg00145.html

  * (PhilippeW) Implement 'frame apply COMMAND', enhance 'thread apply COMMAND'
    [v2] https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-06/msg00118.html

  * (SergioDJ) Implement IPv6 support for GDB/gdbserver
    Latest update: received comments, waiting for new version:

  * (AndrewB) gdb: Don't drop SIGSTOP during stop_all_threads
    Latest update: Reviewed and mostly OK'ed (minor comments)
    Waiting for next version of the patch.

I would like very much to cut the branch by end of this month at
the very latest. After that, we get into the summer holidays where
things start getting slow, so I'd rather start before then.

Do you guys think you'll be able to make it?
