GLIBC BZ#20311 [1] proc_service.h install patch also remove 'const'
attributes from ps_get_thread_area and comment #15 discuss why to remove
the const attribute (basically since it a callback with the struct
ps_prochandle owned by the client it should be able to modify it if
it the case).
On default build this is not the issue and current g++ does not trigger
any issue with this mismatch declaration. However, on some bootstrap
build configuration where gdbserver is build with gcc instead this
triggers:
error: conflicting types for 'ps_get_thread_area'
This patch fixes it by syncing the declaration with GLIBC.

With the kernle fix <http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2015-July/356511.html>,
aarch64 GDB is able to read the base of thread area of 32-bit arm
program through NT_ARM_TLS.
This patch is to teach both GDB and GDBserver to read the base of
thread area correctly in the multi-arch case. A new function
aarch64_ps_get_thread_area is added, and is shared between GDB and
GDBserver.
With this patch applied, the following fails in multi-arch testing
(GDB is aarch64 but the test cases are arm) are fixed,
-FAIL: gdb.threads/tls-nodebug.exp: thread local storage
-FAIL: gdb.threads/tls-shared.exp: print thread local storage variable

This patch is to fixup the siginfo_t when aarch64 gdb or gdbserver
read from or write to the arm inferior. It is to convert the
"struct siginfo_t" between aarch64 and arm, which is quite mechanical.
