[PATCH 2/3] gdb: Add per-remote target variables for memory read and write config

This patch adds per-remote target variables for the configuration of
memory read- and write packet size. It is a further change in addition
to commit "gdb: Make global feature array a per-remote target array"
to apply the fixme notes described in commit 5b6d1e4.
The former global variables for that configuration are still available
to allow the command line configuration for all future remote
connections. Similar to the command line configuration of the per-
remote target feature array, the commands
- set remotewritesize (deprecated)
- set remote memory-read-packet-size
- set remote memory-write-packet-size
will configure the current target (if available) and future remote
connections. The show command will display the global configuration
and the packet size of the current remote target, if available.
It is required to adapt the test gdb.base/remote.exp which is failing
for --target_board=native-extended-gdbserver. With that board GDB
connects to gdbserver at gdb start time. Due to this patch two loggings
"The target may not be able to.." are shown if the command 'set remote
memory-write-packet-size fixed' is executed while a target is connected
for the current inferior. To fix this, the clean_restart command is
moved to a later time point of the test. It is sufficient to be
connected to the server when "runto_main" is executed. Now the
connection time is similar to a testrun with
--target_board=native-gdbserver.
To allow the user to distinguish between the packet-size configuration
for future connections and for the currently selected target, the
logging of the command 'set remote memory-write-packet-size fixed' is
adapted.
