This reverts commit 98bcde5e268ea7cd54186c5f2c27c65103218fc3. This
commit was causing build problems on at least sparc, ppc, and s390,
though I suspect some other targets might be impacted too.

On a Windows machine I built gdbserver, configured for the target
'x86_64-w64-mingw32', then on a GNU/Linux machine I built GDB with
support for all target (--enable-targets=all).
On the Windows machine I start gdbserver with a small test binary:
$ gdbserver 192.168.129.25:54321 C:\some\directory\executable.exe
On the GNU/Linux machine I start GDB without the test binary, and
connect to gdbserver.
As I have not given GDB the test binary, my expectation is that GDB
would connect to gdbserver and then download the file over the remote
protocol, but instead I was presented with this message:
(gdb) target remote 192.168.129.25:54321
Remote debugging using 192.168.129.25:54321
warning: C:\some\directory\executable.exe: No such file or directory.
0x00007ffa3e1e1741 in ?? ()
(gdb)
What I found is that if I told GDB where to find the binary, like
this:
(gdb) file target:C:/some/directory/executable.exe
A program is being debugged already.
Are you sure you want to change the file? (y or n) y
Reading C:/some/directory/executable.exe from remote target...
warning: File transfers from remote targets can be slow. Use "set sysroot" to access files locally instead.
Reading C:/some/directory/executable.exe from remote target...
Reading symbols from target:C:/some/directory/executable.exe...
(gdb)
then GDB would download the executable.
I eventually tracked the problem down to exec_file_find (solib.c).
The remote target was passing an absolute Windows filename (beginning
with "C:/" in this case), but in exec_file_find GDB was failing the
IS_TARGET_ABSOLUTE_PATH call, and so was treating the filename as
relative.
The IS_TARGET_ABSOLUTE_PATH call was failing because GDB thought that
the file system kind was "unix", and as the filename didn't start with
a "/" it assumed the filename was not absolute.
But I'm connecting to a Windows target, my 'target-file-system-kind'
was set to "auto", so should be figuring out that my file-system is
"dos-based".
Looking in effective_target_file_system_kind (filesystem.c), we find
that the logic of "auto" is delegated to the current gdbarch. However
in windows-tdep.c we see:
set_gdbarch_has_dos_based_file_system (gdbarch, 1);
So if we are using a Windows gdbarch we should have "dos-based"
filesystems. What this means is that after connecting to the remote
target GDB has selected the wrong gdbarch.
What's happening is that the target description sent back by the
remote target only includes the x86-64 registers. There's no
information about which OS we're on. As a consequence, GDB picks the
first x86-64 gdbarch which can handle the provided register set, which
happens to be a GNU/Linux gdbarch.
And indeed, there doesn't appear to be anywhere in gdbserver that sets
the osabi on the target descriptions, though some target descriptions
do have their osabi set when the description is created, e.g. in:
gdb/arch/amd64.c - Sets GNU/Linux osabi when appropriate.
gdb/arch/i386.c - Likewise.
gdb/arch/tic6x.c - Always set GNU/Linux osabi.
Most target descriptions are created without an osabi, gdbserver does
nothing to fix this, and the description is returned to GDB without an
osabi included.
I propose that we always set the osabi name on the target descriptions
returned from gdbserver. We could try to do this when the description
is first created, but that would mean passing extra flags into the
tdesc creation code (or just passing the osabi string in), and I don't
think that's really necessary. If we consider the tdesc creation as
being about figuring out which registers are on the target, then it
makes sense that the osabi information is injected later.
So what I've done is require the osabi name to be passed to the
init_target_desc function. This is called, I believe, for all
targets, in the gdbserver code.
Now when I connect to the Windows remote the target description
returned includes the osabi name. With this extra information GDB
selects the correct gdbarch object, which means that GDB understands
the target has a "dos-based" file-system. With that correct GDB
understands that the filename it was given is absolute, and so fetches
the file from the remote as we'd like.

Convert target_desc::arch and target_desc::osabi from 'const char*' to
gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr<char>. This also allows us to remove the user
defined ~target_desc destructor.
I doubt it ever actually occurred, but in theory at least, there was a
memory leak in set_tdesc_architecture and set_tdesc_osabi where the
member variables were assigned without freeing any previous
value... but I suspect that usually these fields are only set once.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

This commit is the result of the following actions:
- Running gdb/copyright.py to update all of the copyright headers to
include 2024,
- Manually updating a few files the copyright.py script told me to
update, these files had copyright headers embedded within the
file,
- Regenerating gdbsupport/Makefile.in to refresh it's copyright
date,
- Using grep to find other files that still mentioned 2023. If
these files were updated last year from 2022 to 2023 then I've
updated them this year to 2024.
I'm sure I've probably missed some dates. Feel free to fix them up as
you spot them.

Right now the list of expedited registers is stored as an array of char *,
with a nullptr element at the end to signal its last element.
Convert expedite_regs to a std::vector of std::string so it is easier to
manage the elements and the storage is handled automatically.
Eventually we might want to convert all the target functions so they pass a
std::vector of std::string as well. Or maybe expose an interface that target can
use to add expedited registers on-by-one depending on the target description
discovery needs, as opposed to just a static list of char *.

It was pointed out on IRC that the RISC-V target allocates target
descriptions and stores them in a global map, and doesn't delete these
target descriptions when GDB shuts down.
This isn't a particular problem, the total number of target
descriptions we can create is very limited so creating these on demand
and holding them for the entire run on GDB seems reasonable.
However, not deleting these objects on GDB exit means extra warnings
are printed from tools like valgrind, and the address sanitiser,
making it harder to spot real issues. As it's reasonably easy to have
GDB correctly delete these objects on exit, lets just do that.
I started by noticing that we already have a target_desc_up type, a
wrapper around unique_ptr that calls a function that will correctly
delete target descriptions, so I want to use that, but....
...that type is declared in gdb/target-descriptions.h. If I try to
include that file in gdb/arch/riscv.c I run into a problem, that file
is compiled into both GDB and GDBServer.
OK, I could guard the include with #ifdef, but surely we can do
better.
So then I decided to move the target_desc_up type into
gdbsupport/tdesc.h, this is the interface file for generic code shared
between GDB and GDBserver (relating to target descriptions). The
actual implementation for the delete function still lives in
gdb/target-description.c, but now gdb/arch/riscv.c can see the
declaration. Problem solved....
... but, though RISC-V doesn't use it I've now exposed the
target_desc_up type to gdbserver, so in future someone _might_ start
using it, which is fine, except right now there's no definition of the
delete function - remember the delete I used is only defined in GDB
code.
No problem, I add an implementation of the delete operator into
gdbserver/tdesc.cc, and all is good..... except....
I start getting this error from GCC:
tdesc.cc:109:10: error: deleting object of polymorphic class type ‘target_desc’ which has non-virtual destructor might cause undefined behavior [-Werror=delete-non-virtual-dtor]
Which is caused because gdbserver's target_desc type inherits from
tdesc_element which has a virtual method, and so GCC worries that
target_desc might be used as a base class.
The solution is to declare gdbserver's target_desc class as final.
This is fine so long as we never intent to inherit from
target_desc (in gdbserver). But if we did then we'd want to make
target_desc's destructor virtual anyway, so the error above would be
resolved, and there wouldn't be an issue.

This patch moves gdbserver to the top level.
This patch is as close to a pure move as possible -- gdbserver still
builds its own variant of gnulib and gdbsupport. Changing this will
be done in a separate patch.
[v2] Note that, per Simon's review comment, this patch changes the
tree so that gdbserver is not built for or1k or score. This makes
sense, because there is apparently not actually a gdbserver port here.
[v3] This version of the patch also splits out some configury into a
new file, gdbserver/configure.host, so that the top-level configure
script can simply rely on it in order to decide whether gdbserver
should be built.
[v4] This version adds documentation and removes some unnecessary
top-level dependencies.
[v5] Update docs to mention "make all-gdbserver" and change how
top-level configure decides whether to build gdbserver, switching to a
single, shared script.
Tested by the buildbot.
