Backport support for fs_base/gs_base and $_siginfo from GDB master.

Bring in two patchsets committed to GDB master along with a few other commits
those patchsets depend on.
- Add support for examining $_siginfo.  When a thread has valid signal
  information, report the current information in a $_siginfo variable.
  For live processes the values are extracted via the PT_LWPINFO ptrace
  request.  The values are also extracted from process core dumps that
  include NT_LWPINFO notes (currently only present in FreeBSD 12-current).
- Add support for the $fs_base and $gs_base registers on amd64.  This only
  works for live processes via the PT_{GET,SET}{FS,GS}BASE ptrace requests.
  FreeBSD currently does not store these values in core dumps, so they are
  not available from core dumps.

Upgrade to GDB 8.0.

- Commit b5430a3ced fixes parsing of 32-bit MIPS process cores.
- kgdb has been ported to 8.0 including renaming the new OSABI constant,
  using gdb_bfd_openr, new return type of ldirname, and solib_add
  changed.
- GDB 8.0 requires C++11, however the port is marked as requiring C++14
  as a workaround for bugs in clang 10.3.
- patch-armfbsd is updated for the new OSABI constant names (a.out was
  removed in 8.0) and new filename convention (arm-fbsd-*)
- patch-gdb-amd64-bsd-nat.c (renamed from patch-gdbamd64-bsd-nat.c) is
  simplified to just store the r_flags value before collecting registers
  from the register cache rather than a full copy of the entire register
  set.
- patch-gdb-corelow.c has been removed.  It isn't really correct and if
  arm cores still cause core dumps the error is in arm-fbsd-tdep.c.
- patch-gdb-i386-fbsd-nat.c renamed to account for rename of patched
  file.
- patch-gdb-x86bsd-nat.c has been removed.  The file was renamed, but the
  stock file also compiled fine for me on i386.
