i386: Use a fallback XSAVE layout for remote targets
If a target provides a target description including registers from the
XSAVE extended region, but does not provide an XSAVE layout, use a
fallback XSAVE layout based on the included registers. This fallback
layout matches GDB's behavior in earlier releases which assumes the
layout from Intel CPUs.
This fallback layout is currently only used for remote targets since
native targets which support XSAVE provide an explicit layout derived
from CPUID.

Fix bug in DAP handling of 'pause' requests
While working on cancellation, I noticed that a DAP 'pause' request
would set the "do not emit the continue" flag. This meant that a
subsequent request that should provoke a 'continue' event would
instead suppress the event.
I then tried writing a more obvious test case for this, involving an
inferior call -- and discovered that gdb.events.cont does not fire for
an inferior call.
This patch installs a new event listener for gdb.events.inferior_call
and arranges for this to emit continue and stop events when
appropriate. It also fixes the original bug, by adding a check to
exec_and_expect_stop.

Implement the notStopped DAP response
DAP specifies that a request can fail with the "notStopped" message if
the inferior is running but the request requires that it first be
stopped.
This patch implements this for gdb. Most requests are assumed to
require a stopped inferior, and the exceptions are noted by a new
'request' parameter.
You may notice that the implementation is a bit racy. I think this is
inherent -- unless the client waits for a stop event before sending a
request, the request may be processed at any time relative to a stop.

ExecutionInvoker is no longer really needed, due to the previous DAP

Automatically run (most) DAP requests in gdb thread
Nearly every DAP request implementation forwards its work to the gdb
thread, using send_gdb_with_response. This patch refactors the
'request' decorator to make this automatic, and to provide some
parameters so that the unusual requests can express their needs as
well.
In a few spots this simplifies the code by removing an unnecessary
helper function. This could be done in more places as well if we
wanted.
The main motivation for this patch is that I thought it would be
helpful for cancellation. I am still working on that, but meanwhile
the parameterization of 'request' makes it easy to handle the
'notStopped' response as well.

Handle StackFrameFormat in DAP
DAP specifies a StackFrameFormat object that can be used to change how
the "name" part of a stack frame is constructed. While this output
can already be done in a nicer way (and also letting the client choose
the formatting), nevertheless it is in the spec, so I figured I'd
implement it.
While implementing this, I discovered that the current code does not
correctly preserve frame IDs across requests. I rewrote frame
iteration to preserve this, and it turned out to be simpler to combine
these patches.

Only allow closure lookup by address if there are threads displaced-stepping
Since commit 1e5ccb9c5ff4fd8ade4a8694676f99f4abf2d679, we have an assertion in
displaced_step_buffers::copy_insn_closure_by_addr that makes sure a closure
is available whenever we have a match between the provided address argument and
the buffer address.
That is fine, but the report in PR30872 shows this assertion triggering when
it really shouldn't. After some investigation, here's what I found out.
The 32-bit Arm architecture is the only one that calls
gdbarch_displaced_step_copy_insn_closure_by_addr directly, and that's because
32-bit Arm needs to figure out the thumb state of the original instruction
that we displaced-stepped through the displaced-step buffer.
Before the assertion was put in place by commit 1e5ccb9c5ff4fd8ade4a8694676f99f4abf2d679, there was the possibility of
getting nullptr back, which meant we were not doing a displaced-stepping
operation.
Now, with the assertion in place, this is running into issues.
It looks like displaced_step_buffers::copy_insn_closure_by_addr is
being used to return a couple different answers depending on the
state we're in:
1 - If we are actively displaced-stepping, then copy_insn_closure_by_addr
is supposed to return a valid closure for us, so we can determine the
thumb mode.
2 - If we are not actively displaced-stepping, then copy_insn_closure_by_addr
should return nullptr to signal that there isn't any displaced-step buffers
in use, because we don't have a valid closure (but we should always have
this).
Since the displaced-step buffers are always allocated, but not always used,
that means the buffers will always contain data. In particular, the buffer
addr field cannot be used to determine if the buffer is active or not.
For instance, we cannot set the buffer addr field to 0x0, as that can be a
valid PC in some cases.
My understanding is that the current_thread field should be a good candidate
to signal that a particular displaced-step buffer is active or not. If it is
nullptr, we have no threads using that buffer to displaced-step. Otherwise,
it is an active buffer in use by a particular thread.
The following fix modifies the displaced_step_buffers::copy_insn_closure_by_addr
function so we only attempt to return a closure if the buffer has an assigned
current_thread and if the buffer address matches the address argument.
Alternatively, I think we could use a function to answer the question of
whether we're actively displaced-stepping (so we have an active buffer) or
not.
I've also added a testcase that exercises the problem. It should reproduce
reliably on Arm, as that is the only architecture that faces this problem
at the moment.

process-dies-while-detaching.exp: Exit early if GDB misses sync breakpoint
I'm seeing a lot of variability in the failures of
gdb.threads/process-dies-while-detaching.exp on aarch64-linux. On this
platform, a problem yet to be investigated causes GDB to miss the _exit
breakpoint. What happens next is random because after missing that
breakpoint, GDB is out of sync with the inferior. This causes the tests
following that point in the testcase to fail in a random way.
In this scenario it's better to exit the testcase early to avoid random
results in the testsuite.
We are relying on gdb_continue_to_breakpoint to return the result of
gdb_test_multiple. This is already the case because in Tcl the return
value of a function is the return value of the last command it runs. But
change gdb_continue_to_breakpoint to explicitly return this value, to make
it clear this is the intended behaviour.
