Pedro Alves 171fba11ab Make GDBserver abort on internal error in development mode 
Currently, if GDBserver hits some internal assertion, it exits with
error status, instead of aborting.  This makes it harder to debug
GDBserver, as you can't just debug a core file if GDBserver fails an
assertion.  I've had to hack the code to make GDBserver abort to debug
something several times before.

I believe the reason it exits instead of aborting, is to prevent
potentially littering the filesystem of smaller embedded targets with
core files.  I think I recall Daniel Jacobowitz once saying that many
years ago, but I can't be sure.  Anyhow, that seems reasonable to me.

Since we nowadays have a distinction between development and release
modes, I propose to make GDBserver abort on internal error if in
development mode, while keeping the status quo when in release mode.

Thus, after this patch, in development mode, you get:

 $ ../gdbserver/gdbserver
 ../../src/gdbserver/server.cc:3711: A problem internal to GDBserver has been detected.
 captured_main: Assertion `0' failed.
 Aborted (core dumped)
 $

while in release mode, you'll continue to get:

 $ ../gdbserver/gdbserver
 ../../src/gdbserver/server.cc:3711: A problem internal to GDBserver has been detected.
 captured_main: Assertion `0' failed.
 $ echo $?
 1

I do not think that this requires a separate configure switch.

A "--target_board=native-extended-gdbserver" run on Ubuntu 20.04 ends
up with:

		 === gdb Summary ===

 # of unexpected core files      29
 ...

for me, of which 8 are GDBserver core dumps, 7 more than without this
patch.
