This is the beginning of a series of patches that convert the linux
low targets into classes derived from linux_process_target. At the
end of the series we obtain a class hierarchy that looks like this:
process_stratum_target
^
|
|-- linux_process_target
^
|
|-- x86_target (defined in linux-x86-low)
|-- aarch64_target (defined in linux-aarch64-low)
|-- ppc_target (defined in linux-ppc-low)
|-- ...
In several cases, linux_process_target simply forwards a target op
request to a corresponding linux_target_ops function. For these
cases, the definition in linux_process_target will be removed and the
definition will be left to the deriving linux low target class; using
inheritance provides a nice and natural, object-oriented
simplification in these cases.
The series converts linux_target_ops into protected methods of
linux_process_target one by one. Throughout the series, based on the
needs, static functions defined in linux-low.cc are converted to
private methods of linux_process_target as well. This is done either
as separate patches or as integrated into a patch that convert a
particular linux_target_op into a method.
The series ends with the patch titled "gdbserver/linux-low: delete
'linux_target_ops' and 'the_low_target'".
Built and regression-tested on x86_64-linux. The following linux low
targets have been built (but not tested) via cross-compilation:
aarch64, arm, m68k, mips, ppc, riscv, s390, sh, sparc. The other
targets (bfin, cris, crisv32, ia64, m32r, nios2, tic6x, tile, xtensa)
were neither built nor tested.

For the same reasons outlined in the previous patch, this patch renames
gdbserver source files to .cc.
I have moved the "-x c++" switch to only those rules that require it.
gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.in: Rename source files from .c to .cc.
* %.c: Rename to %.cc.
* configure.ac: Rename server.c to server.cc.
* configure: Re-generate.
