Target remote mode fork and exec event documentation
This patch implements documentation updates for target remote mode fork and
exec events. A summary of the rationale for the changes made here:
* Connecting to a remote target -- explain that the two protocols exist.
* Connecting in target remote mode -- explain invoking gdbserver for target
remote mode, and move remote-specific text from original "Connecting to a
remote target" section.
* Connecting in target extended-remote mode -- promote this section from
"Using the gdbserver Program | Running gdbserver | Multi-Process Mode for
gdbserver". Put it next to the target remote mode section.
* Host and target files -- collect paragraphs dealing with how to locate
symbol files from original sections "Connecting to a remote target" and
"Using the gdbserver program | Connecting to gdbserver".
* Steps for connecting to a remote target -- used to be "Using the
gdbserver program | Connecting to gdbserver"
* Remote connection commands -- used to be the bulk of "Connecting to a
remote target". Added "target extended-remote" commands and information.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* NEWS: Announce fork and exec event support for target remote.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Forks): Correct Linux kernel version where
fork and exec events are supported, add notes about support
of these events in target remote mode.
(Connecting): Reorganize and clarify distinctions between
target remote, extended-remote, and multiprocess.
Reorganize related text from separate sections into new
sections.
(Server): Note effects of target extended-remote mode.
Delete section on Multi-Process Mode for gdbserver.
Move some text to "Connecting" node.
