gdbstub: Allow late attachment

Allow debugging individual processes in multi-process applications by
starting them with export QEMU_GDB=/tmp/qemu-%d.sock,suspend=n.
Currently one would have to attach to every process to ensure the app
makes progress.

In case suspend=n is not specified, the flow remains unchanged. If it
is specified, then accepting the client connection is delegated to a
thread. In the future this machinery may be reused for handling
reconnections and interruptions.

On accepting a connection, the thread schedules gdb_handlesig() on the
first CPU and wakes it up with host_interrupt_signal. Note that the
result of this gdb_handlesig() invocation is handled, as opposed to
many other existing call sites. These other call sites probably need to
be fixed separately.
