range stepping: gdbserver (x86 GNU/Linux)
This patch adds support for range stepping to GDBserver, teaching it
about vCont;r.
It'd be easy to enable this for all hardware single-step targets
without needing the linux_target_ops hook, however, at least PPC needs
special care, due to the fact that PPC atomic sequences can't be
hardware single-stepped through, a thing which GDBserver doesn't know
about. So this leaves the support limited to x86/x86_64.

* linux-low.c (lwp_in_step_range): New function.
(linux_wait_1): If the thread was range stepping and stopped
outside the stepping range, report the stop to GDB. Otherwise,
continue stepping. Add range stepping debug output.
(linux_set_resume_request): Copy the step range from the resume
request to the lwp.
(linux_supports_range_stepping): New.
(linux_target_ops) <supports_range_stepping>: Set to
linux_supports_range_stepping.
* linux-low.h (struct linux_target_ops)
<supports_range_stepping>: New field.
(struct lwp_info) <step_range_start, step_range_end>: New fields.
* linux-x86-low.c (x86_supports_range_stepping): New.
(the_low_target) <supports_range_stepping>: Set to
x86_supports_range_stepping.
* server.c (handle_v_cont): Handle 'r' action.
(handle_v_requests): Append ";r" if the target supports range
stepping.
* target.h (struct thread_resume) <step_range_start,
step_range_end>: New fields.
(struct target_ops) <supports_range_stepping>:
New field.
(target_supports_range_stepping): New macro.
