[rfa] NEWS updates for HEAD

[Daniel Jacobowitz]

This is everything I saw which has been added since the 6.6 branch
that I meant to add to NEWS.  OK?

Someone should check over NEWS for 6.6, too; I think a few things were
missed, but it will be harder to pick them out now.

 * The GDB remote stub, gdbserver, now has lower overhead for high 
 frequency signals (e.g. SIGALRM) via the QPassSignals packet.
 
+* GDB for MIPS targets now autodetects whether a remote target provides
+32-bit or 64-bit register values.

+  If the target supplies a memory map, for instance via the remote
+  protocol's "qXfer:memory-map:read" packet, setting this variable
+  prevents GDB from accessing memory outside the memory map.  This

+  If the target supplies a memory map, for instance via the remote
