[PATCH 0/9 V3] Use reinsert breakpoint for vCont;s


Here is the V3 of this patch series, V2 can be found
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-06/msg00029.html
some preparatory patches in V2 are already pushed in.  Patches
1 - 5 and 9 are already approved in V2 review.

This patch series is to address the review comments

I do something slightly differently in V3.  In my
"V2 Use reinsert breakpoint for vCont;s", I install reinsert breakpoints
for needed lwps in two places, linux_resume and proceed_all_lwps, which
isn't ideal.

After the chat with Pedro, we don't need to stop all threads when inserting
reinsert breakpoint, so we can move the breakpoint installation further
down to linux_resume_one_thread and proceed_one_lwp.  If
linux_resume_one_thread can use proceed_one_lwp, we can only install
reinsert breakpoints in one place, proceed_one_lwp.  Patch 7 changes
linux_resume_one_thread enqueues signal and calls proceed_one_lwp.
Patch 6 is a refactor one to use existing api enqueue_pending_signal.
With the changes in patch 7, patch 8 is simplified compared with V2.

Regression tested on arm-linux and x86_64-linux.
