[PATCH 3/4] GDBServer: introduce --server-stderr command line option


This command line option will redirect all of the gdbserver's own
output (always sent to stderr) to a separate file. This feature
makes it possible to distinguish between the inferior process stderr
and gdbserver's own stderr.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
2015-03-20  Cleber Rosa  <crosa@redhat.com>

	* gdb.texinfo (info): Added section on command line and monitor
	commands.
	(gdbserver man): Added section on new command line option.

gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
2015-03-20  Cleber Rosa  <crosa@redhat.com>

	* server.c (set_server_stderr): New utility function.
	(gdbserver_usage): Add help on '--server-stderr' option.
	(captured_main): Add command line option parsing for
	'--server-stderr'. Replace stderr with gdbserver's own
	stderr.
