PR remote/18965: vforkdone stop reply should indicate parent PID
The vforkdone stop reply misses indicating the thread ID of the vfork
parent which the event relates to:
@cindex vfork events, remote reply
@item vfork
The packet indicates that @code{vfork} was called, and @var{r}
is the thread ID of the new child process. Refer to
@ref{thread-id syntax} for the format of the @var{thread-id}
field. This packet is only applicable to targets that support
vfork events.
@cindex vforkdone events, remote reply
@item vforkdone
The packet indicates that a child process created by a vfork
has either called @code{exec} or terminated, so that the
address spaces of the parent and child process are no longer
shared. The @var{r} part is ignored. This packet is only
applicable to targets that support vforkdone events.
Unfortunately, this is not just a documentation issue. GDBserver
is really not specifying the thread ID. I noticed because
in non-stop mode, gdb complains:
[Thread 6089.6089] #1 stopped.
#0 0x0000003615a011f0 in ?? ()
0x0000003615a011f0 in ?? ()

(gdb) c
Continuing.

This is not non-stop-mode-specific, however. Consider e.g., that in
all-stop, you may be debugging more than one process at the same time.
You continue, and both processes vfork. So when you next get a
T05vforkdone, there's no way to tell which of the parent processes is
done with the vfork.
Tests will be added later.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.
