Add no-ack mode to the remote protocol --- optionally stop ACKing
packets and responses when we have a reliable communication
medium.
Based on Apple's GDB, by Jason Molenda <jmolenda@apple.com>
* remote.c (struct remote_state): Add noack_mode field.
(PACKET_QStartNoAckMode): New.
(remote_start_remote): Don't any outstanding packet here.
(remote_open_1): Clear noack_mode. Ack any outstanding packet
here. Activate noack mode if requested.
(remote_protocol_features): Add QStartNoAckMode.
(remote_open_1):
(putpkt_binary): Don't send ack in noack mode.
(read_frame): Don't recompute the checksum in noack mode.
(getpkt_sane): Skip sending ack if in noack mode.
(_initialize_remote): Add set/show remote noack mode.
* NEWS: Note the new features.
