Andrew Boie 0f669132a0 kernel: remove gdb_server
This is unmaintained and currently has no known users. It was
added to support a Wind River project. If in the future we need it
again, we should re-introduce it with an exception-based mechanism
for catching out-of-bounds memory queries from the debugger.

The mem_safe subsystem is also removed, it is only used by the
GDB server. If its functionality is needed in the future, it
shoudl be replaced with an exception-based mechanism.

The _image_{ram, rom, text}_{start, end} linker variables have
been left in place, they will be re-purposed and expanded to
support memory protection.

Leandro Pereira 570634a259 kernel: Add OpenOCD support
In order for OpenOCD to have a high-level view of an RTOS, it uses the
GDB protocol to obtain symbols from the system.

The GDB protocol, however, does not allow obtaining fields from
structures directly, and hardcoding offsets is not only brittle (due to
possibly different architectures or changes in the code), it's also
infeasible considering Zephyr is highly-configurable and parts of key
structs can be compiled in or out.

Export an array with offsets for these key structs. Also add a version
element in that array to allow changes in those structs.
