gdbstub/linux-user: support debugging over a unix socket
While debugging over TCP is fairly straightforward now we have test
cases that want to orchestrate via make and currently a parallel build
fails as two processes can't use the same listening port. While system
emulation offers a wide cornucopia of connection methods thanks to the
chardev abstraction we are a little more limited for linux user.
Thankfully the programming API for a TCP socket and a local UNIX
socket is pretty much the same once it's set up.
