[Bug 1588066] Re: SRU: backport gdb 7.11.1 patches to 16.04 LTS (from 7.11)

The diff is big, but it's also just a lot of doc and autotools noise,
the actual code changes look reasonable and have tests.

  SRU: backport gdb 7.11.1 patches to 16.04 LTS (from 7.11).  The
  upstream bugfix release contains a handful of patches fixing only
  bugs, which are:

      - Fix PR gdb/19828, PR gdb/20045, PR gdb/18077, PR gdb/20039,
        PR python/20037, PR remote/19840, PR gdb/19858, PR gdb/19829,
        PR gdb/19676.

  Also mentioned in the attached debdiff.

  Proposing to accept this update into xenial-proposed, and accept it if
  the newly added testcases pass and existing test cases don't show
  regressions (the testsuite is run during the build).  The build in
  yakkety doesn't show any regressions, and the new test cases pass.
