repair gdbstub to match the gdbserial protocol specification

jwessel · jwessel · commit fb82c0ff27b2 · 2010-07-21T19:27:05.000-05:00
The gdbserial protocol handler should return an empty packet instead
of an error string when ever it responds to a command it does not
implement.

The problem cases come from a debugger client sending
qTBuffer, qTStatus, qSearch, qSupported.

The incorrect response from the gdbstub leads the debugger clients to
not function correctly.  Recent versions of gdb will not detach correctly as a result of this behavior.
