[PATCH v3 2/2] Add dprintf and detach test (PR breakpoints/17012)


This adds a test to demonstrate PR 17012, where adding a dprintf in a
linux native process and detaching leaves the trap instruction in the
process.

One issue is that the test does not pass when running with
--target_board=native-extended-gdbserver, partly due to bug 17302 [1].

One quick hack I tried for this was to add a useless "next" between the
call to getpid() and detach, which avoids the bug. There is still one
case where the test fails, and that is with:

- breakpoint always-inserted on
- dprintf-style agent
- disconnected-dprintf on

What happens is that my detach does not actually detach the process,
because some persistent commands (the disconnected dprintf) is present.
However since gdbserver is ran with --once, when gdb disconnects,
gdbserver goes down and takes with it all the processes it spawned and
that are still under its control (which includes my test process).
When the test checks if the test process is still alive, it obvisouly
fails. Investigating about that led me to ask a question on the ML [2]
about the behavior of detach.

Until the remote case is sorted out, would it be ok to disable the
test for all remote targets or KFAIL the tests? I will tackle the
blocking problems in separate patches.

New in v3:
* Follow-up Pedro's review
  * Fix wrong include and formatting in test program.
  * Remove check to run the test only on Linux.
  * Disable test for stubs instead of all remote targets
  * Test with all cominations of dprintf-style, breakpoint
    always-inserted and disconnected-dprintf.
  * Check if "call getpid ()" succeeds.
  * Clean restart gdb when re-attaching,

New in v2:
* Verify process existence by trying to attach it with a new gdb.
* Added/updated copyright notices.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	PR breakpoints/17012
	gdb.base/dprintf-detach.c: New file.
	gdb.base/dprintf-detach.exp: New file.
