GDB 10.1 release -- 2020-09-26 Update

[Joel Brobecker]

Hi everyone,

Here is another update on the release. I think we're converging
with maybe one new item which I'm a little worried about, as this
touches an area that is traditionally very complex and delicate
(PR gdb/26642).

Fixed Since the Previous Update:
--------------------------------

  * [TomT] <PR tui/26638>
    TUI focus behavior change
    https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26638

Added Since the Last Update:
----------------------------

  * [SimonM] <PR gdb/26642>
    "maintenance set target-async off" is broken on GNU/Linux
    https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26642

Other Ongoing Items:
--------------------

  * [EliZ] <PR build/26607>
    GDB build failure in gnulib if building on Windows version older than 8
    https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26607

    gnulib pushed a couple of patches:
    https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-September/171920.html

    The proposal is the following:
      - On the branch: we review, and test the two patches, then
        integrate them;
      - On master, we schedule a gnulib update.

    Patch for the branch proposed at:
    https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-September/172155.html

Not Critical, but Requested:
----------------------------

  * [<unassigned>] <PR python/26586> (raised by Christian B)
    from_tty argument to Python's gdb.execute is no longer effective
    https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26586

    Not release blocking because not exactly a regressions (8.2 and 9
    already had the bug).

    Patch pushed to master:

        | commit 8f9929bb97dc0f0fdf60269ac8c9a7d50746646f (origin/master, origin/HEAD)
        | Author: Gareth Rees <grees@undo.io>
        | Date:   Sat Sep 26 11:01:45 2020 -0700
        | Subject: gdb: Fix from_tty argument to gdb.execute in Python.

    Requested second opinion before backporting.

  * [AntonK, ShahabV] (suggested by SimonM)
    Add ARC Linux gdbserver support

    No movement since last update (waiting on path author).

    Patch (Aug 26th):
