[PATCH RFC 0/2] Remove UST (static tracepoint) support from gdbserver

[Tankut Baris Aktemur]

Hello,

UST support in gdbserver is substantially outdated.  Simon suggested
removing the support in a comment at

  https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/f5fd16bf-1a2c-44d2-b777-73757fd8e6cd@efficios.com/

This is an RFC that aims to start that removal.  I wanted to make this
an RFC to collect feedback on "how much" to remove.  In one further
step, we can also remove the `static_tracepoint` enum in
gdbserver/tracepoint.cc and all the relevant places where it's used.
I think it makes sense to keep the related GDB commands and the RSP
support unchanged.  Removing support from gdbserver doesn't mean that
GDB would not be connected to a (downstream) stub that uses the
feature or that the support would not be resurrected in the future.

Best regards,
Baris
