Implement the ability to set/unset environment variables to GDBserver when starting the inferior
This patch implements the ability to set/unset environment variables on the remote target, mimicking what GDB already offers to the user. There are two features present here: user-set and user-unset environment variables. User-set environment variables are only the variables that are explicitly set by the user, using the 'set environment' command. This means that variables that were already present in the environment when starting GDB/GDBserver are not transmitted/considered by this feature. User-unset environment variables are variables that are explicitly unset by the user, using the 'unset environment' command. The idea behind this patch is to store user-set and user-unset environment variables in two separate sets, both part of gdb_environ. Then, when extended_remote_create_inferior is preparing to start the inferior, it will iterate over the two sets and set/unset variables accordingly. Three new packets are introduced: - QEnvironmentHexEncoded, which is used to set environment variables, and contains an hex-encoded string in the format "VAR=VALUE" (VALUE can be empty if the user set a variable with a null value, by doing 'set environment VAR='). - QEnvironmentUnset, which is used to unset environment variables, and contains an hex-encoded string in the format "VAR". - QEnvironmentReset, which is always the first packet to be transmitted, and is used to reset the environment, i.e., discard any changes made by the user on previous runs. The QEnvironmentHexEncoded packet is inspired on LLDB's extensions to the RSP. Details about it can be seen here: <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/llvm-mirror/lldb/master/docs/lldb-gdb-remote.txt> I decided not to implement the QEnvironment packet because it is considered deprecated by LLDB. This packet, on LLDB, serves the same purpose of QEnvironmentHexEncoded, but sends the information using a plain text, non-hex-encoded string. The other two packets are new. This patch also includes updates to the documentation, testsuite, and unit tests, without introducing regressions. gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-08-31 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com> * NEWS (Changes since GDB 8.0): Add entry mentioning new support for setting/unsetting environment variables on the remote target.
