[PATCH 18/30] Fix inconsistent handling of EINTR in ser-*.c backends


- If serial->write_prim returns EINTR, ser_bas_write returns it to the
  caller.  This just looks wrong to me -- part of the output may have
  already been sent, and there's no way for the caller to know that,
  and thus no way for a caller to handle a partial write correctly.

- While ser-unix.c:ser_unix_read_prim retries on EINTR,
  ser-tcp.c:net_read_prim does not.

This commit moves EINTR handling to the ser_base_write and
ser_base_readchar level, so all serial backends (at least those that
use it) end up handling EINTR consistently.

gdb/ChangeLog:
yyyy-mm-dd  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* ser-base.c (fd_event): Retry read_prim on EINTR.
	(do_ser_base_readchar): Retry read_prim on EINTR.
	(ser_base_write): Retry write_prim on EINTR.
	* ser-unix.c (ser_unix_read_prim): Don't retry on EINTR here.
	(ser_unix_write_prim): Remove comment.
