base,sim: Adding monitor function to GDB
The remote protocol provides a monitor query. This query allows to
provide a implementation defined behavior in the stub.
I proposed to use this command as a way to quit simulation with a
message provided by the GDB client.
Thus calling "monitor my_message" in the client will exit the
simulation with the exit message "GDB_MONITOR:my_message".
This is implemented through a derived class based on
GlobalSimLoopExitEvent and a small addition to the based class that adds
a clean method that will be called when returning siumation after the
Event.
