While troubleshooting why gdb wasn't working when attempting to debug
serenity programs I noticed two things:
- The contract of serenity's `waitpid(..)` appears to be slightly
different than the generic ptrace target expects. We need to make
sure we pass `WSTOPPED`, and it can return different errno values
that we would want to re-try on.
- The contract of serenity's `ptrace(..)` implementation appears to
diverge as well, as we are expected to call `PT_ATTACH` before we
call `PT_CONTINUE`, otherwise `ptrace(..)` will just error out.
These two patches fix the behavior of wait and mourn_inferior so that
they work as expected on serenity and allow us to attach and then wait
for a process to exit while running under gdb.

Before working on the gdb port some more, I wanted to get these patches
cleaned up to have a good base to build upon.

This patch adds a ptrace based gdb backend, which is then enlightended
to known how to read the serenity i386 registers via ptrace.
This is just a basic implementation to get the port bootstrapped.

These are compilation errors coming form upstream gdb.

Stack regions can't be made volatile, which makes it impossible for
malloc to manage memory that's used for `sigaltstack()`. Let's use mmap
instead.

This builds and runs, but crashes when you attempt to try to debug
something at the moment.
