Fix also the new calls to add_service().

7b641d3d4e Add initial RTT support
Real Time Transfer (RTT) is an interface specified by SEGGER based on
basic memory reads and writes to transfer data bidirectionally between
target and host.
Every target that supports so called "background memory access", which
means that the target memory can be accessed by the debugger while the
target is running, can be used.

RTT is especially of interest for targets which do not support Serial
Wire Output (SWO) (e.g. ARM Cortex-M0) or where using semihosting is
not possible (e.g. real-time applications) [1].

The data transfer is organized in channels where each channel consists
of an up- and/or down-channel. See [2] for more details.

Channels are exposed via TCP connections. One or more RTT server can be
assigned to each channel to make them accessible to an unlimited number
of TCP connections.

The current implementation does not respect buffer flags which are used
to determine what happens when writing to a full buffer.

Note that the implementation is designed in a way that the RTT
operations can be directly performed by an adapter (e.g. J-Link).
