[PATCH v4 6/7] Remote follow vfork

This patch implements follow-fork for vfork on remote and extended-remote
Linux targets.

The implementation follows the native implementation as much as possible.
Most of the work is done on the GDB side in the existing code now in
infrun.c. GDBserver just has to report the events and do a little
bookkeeping.

Implementation was almost entirely in gdbserver, excepting changes to
gdb/remote.c, and included:

* enabling VFORK events
- by adding ptrace options for VFORK and VFORK_DONE as 'additional
options' in linux-low.c:initialize_low, so that they are available for
extended-mode.

- by adding ptrace options for VFORK and VFORK_DONE as 'base options' in
linux-low.c:linux_enable_extended_features. In this function we know
we are in extended-mode, so we enable these options if they are
supported.

* handling VFORK and VFORK_DONE events in linux-low.c:handle_extended_wait
by saving the event information for event reporting and for the
follow_fork request expected to come from GDB.

* including VFORK and VFORK_DONE events in the predicate
linux-low.c:extended_event_reported.

* adding support for VFORK and VFORK_DONE events in RSP by adding stop
reasons "vfork" and "vforkdone" to the 'T' Stop Reply Packet in both
gdbserver/remote-utils.c and gdb/remote.c.

Tested on x64 Ubuntu Lucid, native, remote, extended-remote.

* linux-low.c (handle_extended_wait): Handle PTRACE_EVENT_FORK and
PTRACE_EVENT_VFORK_DONE.
(linux_low_enable_events): Prevent enablement of VFORK events if
GDB has not requested them.
(extended_event_reported): Add vfork and vfork-done to the list
of extended events.
(initialize_low): Enable PTRACE_EVENT_FORK and PTRACE_EVENT_VFORK_DONE.
* remote-utils.c (prepare_resume_reply): New stop reasons "vfork"
and "vforkdone" for RSP 'T' Stop Reply Packet.
* server.h (report_vfork_events): Declare
global variable.
