Identify remote fork event support

This patch implements a mechanism for GDB to determine whether fork
events are supported in gdbserver.  This is a preparatory patch for
remote fork and exec event support.

Two new RSP packets are defined to represent fork and vfork event
support.  These packets are used just like PACKET_multiprocess_feature
to denote whether the corresponding event is supported.  GDB sends
fork-events+ and vfork-events+ to gdbserver to inquire about fork
event support.  If the response enables these packets, then GDB
knows that gdbserver supports the corresponding events and will
enable them.

Target functions used to query for support are included along with
each new packet.

In order for gdbserver to know whether the events are supported at the
point where the qSupported packet arrives, the code in nat/linux-ptrace.c
had to be reorganized.  Previously it would test for fork/exec event
support, then enable the events using the pid of the inferior.  When the
qSupported packet arrives there may not be an inferior.  So the mechanism
was split into two parts: a function that checks whether the events are
supported, called when gdbserver starts up, and another that enables the
events when the inferior stops for the first time.

Another gdbserver change was to add some global variables similar to
multi_process, one per new packet.  These are used to control whether
the corresponding fork events are enabled.  If GDB does not inquire
about the event support in the qSupported packet, then gdbserver will
not set these "report the event" flags.  If the flags are not set, the
events are ignored like they were in the past.  Thus, gdbserver will
never send fork event notification to an older GDB that doesn't
recognize fork events.

Tested on Ubuntu x64, native/remote/extended-remote, and as part of
subsequent patches in the series.
