Tom Tromey 08f10e02be Move gdb's xmalloc and friends to new file
When "common" becomes a library, linking will cause a symbol clash,
because "xmalloc" and some related symbols are defined in that
library, libiberty, and readline.

To work around this problem, this patch moves the clashing symbols to
a new file, which is then compiled separately for both gdb and
gdbserver.

/* This file is unusual.
Because both libiberty and readline define xmalloc and friends, the
functions in this file can't appear in a library -- that will cause
link errors.
And, because we want to turn the common code into a library, this
file can't live there.
So, it lives in gdb and is built separately by gdb and gdbserver.
Please be aware of this when modifying it.
This also explains why this file includes common-defs.h and not
defs.h or server.h -- we'd prefer to avoid depending on the
GDBSERVER define when possible, and for this file it seemed
simple to do so. */
