Arch-specific remote follow fork
This patch implements the architecture-specific pieces of follow-fork for remote and extended-remote Linux targets, which in the current implementation copyies the parent's debug register state into the new child's data structures. This is required for x86, arm, aarch64, and mips. This follows the native implementation as closely as possible by implementing a new linux_target_ops function 'new_fork', which is analogous to 'linux_nat_new_fork' in linux-nat.c. In gdbserver, the debug registers are stored in the process list, instead of an architecture-specific list, so the function arguments are process_info pointers instead of an lwp_info and a pid as in the native implementation. In the MIPS implementation the debug register mirror is stored differently from x86, ARM, and aarch64, so instead of doing a simple structure assignment I had to clone the list of watchpoint structures. Tested using gdb.threads/watchpoint-fork.exp on x86, and ran manual tests on a MIPS board and an ARM board. Aarch64 hasn't been tested. gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog: * linux-aarch64-low.c (aarch64_linux_new_fork): New function. (the_low_target) <new_fork>: Initialize new member. * linux-arm-low.c (arm_new_fork): New function. (the_low_target) <new_fork>: Initialize new member. * linux-low.c (handle_extended_wait): Call new target function new_fork. * linux-low.h (struct linux_target_ops) <new_fork>: New member. * linux-mips-low.c (mips_add_watchpoint): New function extracted from mips_insert_point. (the_low_target) <new_fork>: Initialize new member. (mips_linux_new_fork): New function. (mips_insert_point): Call mips_add_watchpoint. * linux-x86-low.c (x86_linux_new_fork): New function. (the_low_target) <new_fork>: Initialize new member.
