btrace, gdbserver: remove the to_supports_btrace target method
Remove the to_supports_btrace target method and instead rely on detecting errors when trying to enable recording. This will also provide a suitable error message explaining why recording is not possible. For remote debugging, gdbserver will now always advertise branch tracing related packets. When talking to an older GDB, this will cause GDB to try to enable branch tracing and gdbserver to report a suitable error message every time. An older gdbserver will not advertise branch tracing related packets if the one-time check failed, so a newer GDB with this patch will fail to enable branch tracing at remote_enable_btrace() rather than at btrace_enable(). The error message is the same in both cases so there should be no user-visible change. gdb/ * btrace.c (btrace_enable): Remove target_supports_btrace call. * nat/linux-btrace.c (perf_event_pt_event_type): Move.
