repair gdbstub to match the gdbserial protocol specification
commit fb82c0ff27b2c40c6f7a3d1a94cafb154591fa80 upstream. 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.
