Simon Marchi b315b67d7a gdbserver: fix memory leak when handling qsupported packet
When building gdbserver with AddressSanitizer, I get this annoying
little leak when gdbserver exits:

==307817==ERROR: LeakSanitizer: detected memory leaks

    Direct leak of 14 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:

    SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: 14 byte(s) leaked in 1 allocation(s).

This is due to the handling of unknown qsupported features in
handle_query.  The `qsupported` vector is built, containing all the
feature names received from GDB.  As we iterate on them, when we
encounter unknown ones, we move them at the beginning of the vector, in
preparation of passing this vector of unknown features down to the
target (which may know about them).

When moving these unknown features to other slots in the vector, we
overwrite other pointers without freeing them, which therefore leak.

An easy fix would be to add a `free` when doing the move.  However, I
think this is a good opportunity to sprinkle a bit of automatic memory
management in this code.

So, use a vector of std::string which owns all the entries.  And use a
separate vector (that doesn't own the entries) for the unknown ones,
which is then passed to target_process_qsupported.

Given that the `c_str` method of std::string returns a `const char *`,
it follows that process_stratum_target::process_qsupported must accept a
`const char **` instead of a `char **`.  And while at it, change the
pointer + size paramters to use an array_view instead.

gdbserver/ChangeLog:

	* server.cc (handle_query): Use std::vector of
	std::string for `qsupported` vector.  Use separate
	vector for unknowns.
	* target.h (class process_stratum_target) <process_qsupported>:
	Change parameters to array_view of const char *.
	(target_process_qsupported): Remove `count` parameter.
	* target.cc (process_stratum_target::process_qsupported): Change
	parameters to array_view of const char *.
	* linux-x86-low.cc (class x86_target) <process_qsupported>:
	Likewise.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
