Implement remote_pid_to_exec_file using qXfer:exec-file:read
This commit adds a new packet "qXfer:exec-file:read" to the remote protocol that can be used to obtain the pathname of the file that was executed to create a process on the remote system. Support for this packet is added to GDB and remote_ops.to_pid_to_exec_file is implemented using it. gdb/ChangeLog: * target.h (TARGET_OBJECT_EXEC_FILE): New enum value. * remote.c (PACKET_qXfer_exec_file): Likewise. (remote_protocol_features): Register the "qXfer:exec-file:read" feature. (remote_xfer_partial): Handle TARGET_OBJECT_EXEC_FILE. (remote_pid_to_exec_file): New function. (init_remote_ops): Initialize to_pid_to_exec_file. (_initialize_remote): Register new "set/show remote pid-to-exec-file-packet" command. * NEWS: Announce new qXfer:exec-file:read packet. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (Remote Configuration): Document the "set/show remote pid-to-exec-file-packet" command. (General Query Packets): Document the qXfer:exec-file:read qSupported features. Document the qXfer:exec-file:read packet.
