Currently the GDB's generate-core-file command doesn't work well with
qemu-user: the resulting dumps are huge [1] and at the same time
incomplete (argv and envp are missing). The reason is that GDB has no
access to proc mappings and therefore has to fall back to using
heuristics for discovering them. This is, in turn, because qemu-user
does not implement the Host I/O feature of the GDB Remote Serial
Protocol.
Implement vFile:{open,close,pread,readlink} and also
qXfer:exec-file:read+. With that, generate-core-file begins to work on
aarch64 and s390x.

The process was pretty similar to the softmmu move except we take the
time to split stuff between user.c and user-target.c to avoid as much
target specific compilation as possible. We also start to make use of
our shiny new header scheme so the user-only helpers can be included
without the rest of the exec/gsbstub.h cruft.
As before we split some functions into user and softmmu versions
