[PATCH 00/30] Stop throwing exceptions from signal handlers

[Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>]

Aka, get rid of immediate_quit.

Throwing exceptions from signal handlers is undefined C++.  So for C++
conversion we need to replace the immediate_quit mechanism by
something else.

This series:

- Replaces all immediate_quit uses with something else.

- Removes a few custom SIGINT handlers, centralizing more on the
  "quit" flag and GDB's default SIGINT handler.

- Fixes several classical signal handler / mainline code races, using
  the self-pipe trick.

- Introduces a "struct serial_event" abstraction to hide the self-pipe
  trick -- on Windows we don't use pipes at all, and on Linux, we
  could use eventfd (but I didn't do that, at least yet).

- Stumbles on a few bogus clear_quit_flag uses, and thus completely
  eliminates it, for good measure.

- Decouples target_interrupt from all-stop/non-stop modes

- Fixes a few cases of indefinitely-delayed Ctrl-C handling.

- Fixes/incorrect handling of EINTR in ser-*.c backends

- Goes through the tree fixing all target_terminal_ours calls that
  should be target_terminal_ours_for_output instead.  We only end up
  with a few target_terminal_ours calls, at places were we need to
  handle input.

- Plugs a few leaks along the way.

- Fixes a bug where you can't answer y/n to an internal error if the
  target has the terminal.

- Introduces the concept of quit handlers.

- Does a few clean ups along the way.

Tested on x86-64 Fedora 23, native and gdbserver.

A slightly older version manually test on mingw64/Windows 7, to make
sure Ctrl-C still works as expected there.

This applies on top of the "target mips" elimination patch:

I've pushed the whole series to users/palves/immediate_quit.
