rtos/hwthread: add hardware-thread pseudo rtos

This patch adds "hwthread", a pseudo rtos that represents cpu cores
in an SMP system as threads to gdb. This allows to debug SMP
system kernels in a more sensible manner and removes the current
atrocities of switching gdb manually between CPU cores to update
the context.

OpenOCD implements :
@itemize @bullet
@item @option{jc} packet for reading core id displayed by

Handling of this packet within GDB can be done :
@itemize @bullet
@item by the creation of an internal variable (i.e @option{_core}) by mean
of function allocate_computed_value allowing following GDB command.
@example
set $_core 1

@item by the usage of GDB maintenance command as described in following example (2 cpus in SMP with

@section Using OpenOCD SMP with GDB
@cindex SMP
@cindex RTOS
@cindex hwthread
OpenOCD includes a pseudo RTOS called @emph{hwthread} that presents CPU cores
("hardware threads") in an SMP system as threads to GDB. With this extension,
GDB can be used to inspect the state of an SMP system in a natural way.
After halting the system, using the GDB command @command{info threads} will
list the context of each active CPU core in the system. GDB's @command{thread}
command can be used to switch the view to a different CPU core.
The @command{step} and @command{stepi} commands can be used to step a specific core
while other cores are free-running or remain halted, depending on the
scheduler-locking mode configured in GDB.
@section Legacy SMP core switching support
@quotation Note
This method is deprecated in favor of the @emph{hwthread} pseudo RTOS.
