range stepping: gdbserver (x86 GNU/Linux)

This patch adds support for range stepping to GDBserver, teaching it
about vCont;r.

It'd be easy to enable this for all hardware single-step targets
without needing the linux_target_ops hook, however, at least PPC needs
special care, due to the fact that PPC atomic sequences can't be
hardware single-stepped through, a thing which GDBserver doesn't know
about.  So this leaves the support limited to x86/x86_64.
