17aedeeb8c Filter 'New thread' lines
gdb 7.9 reports new threads at different moment than the previous versions.
Filter these new threads lines so as to not be dependent on this
gdb aspect.

b89d33b962 Tweak gdbserver_tests/hgtls.stdoutB.exp filter_gdb a little for older GDB.
Older GDB (7.2 on i386) don't print out which variable+offset an argument
pointer in a breakpoint function points to. The hgtls test already tests
whether the p pointer/test points to the expected tests array element.
So don't expect gdb to print it also and filter it out with filter_gdb.

bc353dfe97 fix 338160: Implement QGetTlsAddr query so that GDB+V gdbsrv can print __thread variables.
To implement QGetTlsAddr, gdbsrv has to know how to get the glibc dtv
address and the module id from the link_map.
These 2 things are dependent on the internals of glibc.
The dependency is mostly isolated in a few lines of arch dependent
code or in an external utility that used a hack + -ldl lib to find
the offset of the modid in the link_map structure.

Tested on x86/amd64/ppc64/s390x. Somewhat tested on ppc32 and arm64.
Untested/a few #ifdef-ed lines not compiled on arm/mips32/mips64
and darwin.

'ELF Handling For Thread-Local Storage' http://www.akkadia.org/drepper/tls.pdf

Changes:
* auxprogs/getoff.c new auxilliary program to get platform specific offsets
  (currently only the offset for the module id in struct link_map).
* configure.ac : check for dlinfo(RTLD_DI_TLS_MODID) needed for getoff.c
* new gdbserver_tests/hgtls, testing various types of __thread variables
* various m_gdbserver files:
  - implement decoding of the QGetTlsAddr query
  - for each platform: platform specific code to get the dtv
  - call to external program getoff-<platform> the first time an
    __thread variable is printed.
