GDB's "set stop-on-solib-events 1" setting allows users to stop execution
when shared libraries are loaded or unloaded, enabling inspection and
breakpoint placement before library code executes. This feature works for
CPU shared libraries but is not working for GPU code objects loaded by the
AMD ROCm runtime.

This commit implements stop-on-solib-events support for GPU code objects,
making GPU code object load/unload events behave consistently with CPU
shared library events.

The root cause is in amd_dbgapi_target_breakpoint::check_status(), which
unconditionally sets bs->stop = 0 and bs->print_it = print_it_noop,
regardless of the stop_on_solib_events setting. This is in contrast to
internal_breakpoint::check_status() for CPU shared libraries, which
respects the setting.

The fix includes:

1. Generalize print_solib_event() function to eliminate code duplication
   between CPU and GPU event printing. The function now accepts parameters
   for event description, field names, and plural forms. This reduces
   ~50 lines of duplicated code.

2. Add code_object_list_updated flag to amd_dbgapi_inferior_info to track
   when AMD_DBGAPI_EVENT_KIND_CODE_OBJECT_LIST_UPDATED events occur during
   process_event_queue().

3. Modify check_status() to check this flag after processing events and
   update bs->stop, bs->print, and bs->print_it based on stop_on_solib_events.

4. Implement print_it() override to display "Stopped due to GPU code object
   event" to distinguish GPU events from CPU shared library events.

This makes GPU code object load events behave consistently with CPU shared
library events. A test is included in gdb.rocm/solib-event.exp.

 *** Changes since GDB 18
 
+* The 'set stop-on-solib-events' setting now applies to GPU code objects
+  loaded by the AMD ROCm runtime, in addition to CPU shared libraries.
+  When enabled (non-zero value), GDB will stop execution whenever GPU code
+  objects are loaded or unloaded, allowing inspection and breakpoint
+  placement.
+
 * GDB now distinguishes between the GNU (MinGW) and MSVC Windows ABIs.
 
   The "set osabi" command accepts two new values, "Windows-GNU" and

You indeed generalized print_solib_event, but
amd_dbgapi_target_breakpoint::print_it still contains the duplicated
code, and doesn't use print_solib_event.  I guess you are missing a
piece of the change.

This flag does not need to live in amd_dbgapi_inferior_info, since it's

only needed within the duration of one

amd_dbgapi_target_breakpoint::check_status call.  It's not a state that

needs to be persisted.  Perhaps have process_event_queue return that

value, so check_status can use it?  process_event_queue already returns

a value (amd_dbgapi_event_id_t), it could return a small struct instead.

This (and the change in print_solib_event) adds a new field tot he stops
of kind "solib-event".  I think it should be documented where
"solib-event" is described, in section "GDB/MI Async Records" of the
documentation.

As a GDB developer, I find this documentation change a bit unnecessary,
because I know that GPU code objects are (in GDB) the same as shared
libraries, just with another name.  But I guess it's good to be
explicit, because that might not be clear to end users.  But I would not
mention "(AMD ROCm targets)" part (same for the documentation part
above), because we want to keep the documentation of these commands
fairly target-agnostic.

Will the term "GPU code objects" be applicable for the Intel GPU target
too?

This last line should use \[^\r\n\]+ like the other ones I guess.
