* infptrace.c (GDB_MAX_ALLOCA): New define.
(child_xfer_memory): Use xmalloc/xfree instead of alloca if the
size of the buffer exceeds GDB_MAX_ALLOCA (default 1 megabyte,
can be overridden with whatever value is appropriate to the host).
* infttrace.c (child_xfer_memory): Add FIXME warning about use of
alloca to allocate potentially large buffer.
* rs6000-nat.c (child_xfer_memory): Ditto.
* symm-nat.c (child_xfer_memory): Ditto.
* x86-64-linux-nat.c (child_xfer_memory): Ditto.
