[PATCH 06/18] New module remote-wtx-utils


This module provides a couple of routines to deal with loading the
VxWorks host-side shared libraries, such as the WTX library for instance.

I rewrote a bit the routines to depend on two functions gdb_dlopen and
gdb_dlsym which we could isolate in its own gdb_dlfcn.h/c if we wanted to.
But since this is used only when adding the vxworks target, I kept these
routines local for now - otherwise, it opens the door for questions such
as: What do we do when these are not defined? Should we fail the configure
even though chances are these routines might not be actually needed for
the build? Or do we fail the configure only when they are in fact needed
(ideal, but harder to maintain I believe), or do we just fail at link
time (a bit ugly but much easier to implement)?  For now, I don't think
we really need to answer these questions, but I wrote the code in a way
that it makes it easy to extract the code and create the module if we
ever need to.
