[PATCH 0/8] Use reinsert breakpoint for vCont;s


Nowadays, reinsert breakpoint is used in GDBserver to step over a
breakpoint.  I want to use it to handle vCont;s too.  The idea is that
when GDBserver receives resume_step request from GDB, use the software
single step logic, insert reinsert_breakpoint on the next pcs, and
resume the thread.  This means we have multiple reinsert_breakpoints
for different threads for either step-over or vCont;s.  Patch #6 makes
reinsert breakpoints thread specific, patch #7 does the major thing,
and patch #8 claims supporting vCont;s with software single step.

Patch #1 and #2 fixes the existing bugs.  Patch #3, #4, and #5 refactor
the code.

The whole series are tested on arm-linux, aarch64-linux and
x86_64-linux.
