28926c5766 Update the ddb and gdb backends for the new 'trace_thread' hook.
It is implemented via db_trace_thread() for DDB and not implemented
for GDB.  This should have been part of r234190.

3a5d36716f Modify kdb_trap() so that it re-calls the dbbe_trap function as long as
the debugger back-end has changed.  This means that switching from ddb
to gdb no longer requires a "step" which can be dangerous on an
already-crashed kernel.

Also add a capability to get from the gdb back-end back to ddb, by
typing ^C in the console window.

While here, simplify kdb_sysctl_available() by using
sbuf_new_for_sysctl(), and use strlcpy() instead of strncpy() since the
strlcpy semantic is desired.

bcc5241c43 Change gdb_cpu_setreg() to not take the value to which to set the
specified register, but a pointer to the in-memory representation of
that value. The reason for this is twofold:
1. Not all registers can be represented by a register_t. In particular
   FP registers fall in that category. Passing the new register value
   by reference instead of by value makes this point moot.
2. When we receive a G or P packet, both are for writing a register,
   the packet will have the register value in target-byte order and
   in the memory representation (modulo the fact that bytes are sent
   as 2 printable hexadecimal numbers of course). We only need to
   decode the packet to have a pointer to the register value.

This change fixes the bug of extracting the register value of the P
packet as a hexadecimal number instead of as a bit array. The quick
(and dirty) fix to bswap the register value in gdb_cpu_setreg() as
it has been added on i386 and amd64 can therefore be removed and has
in fact been that.

Tested on: alpha, amd64, i386, ia64, sparc64

72d44f31a6 Introduce the GDB debugger backend for the new KDB framework. The
backend improves over the old GDB support in the following ways:
o  Unified implementation with minimal MD code.
o  A simple interface for devices to register themselves as debug
   ports, ala consoles.
o  Compression by using run-length encoding.
o  Implements GDB threading support.
