/* Async notifications to GDB.  When the state of remote target is
   changed or something interesting to GDB happened, async
   notifications are used to tell GDB.

   Each type of notification is represented by an object
   'struct notif_server', in which there is a queue for events to GDB
   represented by 'struct notif_event'.  GDBserver writes (by means of
   'write' field) each event in the queue into the buffer and send the
   contents in buffer to GDB.  The contents in buffer is specified in
   RSP.  See more in the comments to field 'queue' of
   'struct notif_server'.

   Here is the workflow of sending events and managing queue:
   1.  At any time, when something interesting FOO happens, a object
   of 'struct notif_event' or its sub-class EVENT is created for FOO.

   2.  Enqueue EVENT to the 'queue' field of 'struct notif_server' for
   FOO and send corresponding notification packet to GDB if EVENT is
   the first one.
   #1 and #2 are done by function 'notif_push'.

   3.  EVENT is not deque'ed until the ack of FOO from GDB arrives.
   Before ack of FOO arrives, FOO happens again, a new object of
   EVENT is created and enqueue EVENT silently.
   Once GDB has a chance to ack to FOO, it sends an ack to GDBserver,
   and GDBserver repeatedly sends events to GDB and gets ack of FOO,
   until queue is empty.  Then, GDBserver sends 'OK' to GDB that all
   queued notification events are done.

   # 3 is done by function 'handle_notif_ack'.  */
