gdb: add linux_nat_debug_printf macro

The debug prints inside linux-nat.c almost all have a prefix that
indicate in which function they are located.  This prefix is an
abbreviation of the function name.  For example, this print is in the
`linux_nat_post_attach_wait` function:

    if (debug_linux_nat)
      fprintf_unfiltered (gdb_stdlog,
                          "LNPAW: Attaching to a stopped process\n");

Over time, the code has changed, things were moved, and many of these
prefixes are not accurate anymore.  Also, unless you know the
linux-nat.c file by heart, it's a bit cryptic what LLR, LNW, RSRL, etc,
all mean.

To address both of these issues, I suggest adding this macro for
printing debug statements, which automatically includes the function
name.  It also includes the `[linux-nat]` prefix to clarify which part
of GDB printed this (I think that, ideally, all debug prints would
include such a tag).

The `__func__` magic symbol is used to get the function name.
Unfortunately, in the case of methods, it only contains the method name,
not the class name.  So we'll get "wait", where I would have liked to
get "linux_nat_target::wait".  But at least with the `[linux-nat]` tag
in the front, it's not really ambiguous.

I've made the macro automatically include the trailing newline, because
it wouldn't make sense to call it twice to print two parts of one line,
the `[linux-nat]` tag would be printed in the middle.

An advantage of this (IMO) is that it's less verbose, we don't have to
check for `if (debug_linux_nat)` everywhere.

Another advantage is that it's easier to customize the output later,
without having to touch all call sites.

Here's an example of what it looks like in the end:

    [linux-nat] linux_nat_wait_1: enter
    [linux-nat] wait: [process -1], [TARGET_WNOHANG]
