As of version 13.x GDB uses libtool for linking instead of g++ these
take different arguments for static linking. Commit 6146b5a6 ("use
-all-static when building a static gdb") attempted to deal with this but
had the effect of causing older GDB versions to fail to build
statically. Add a new internal flag GDB_CC_LD_LIBTOOL and use this to
decide whether to pass `-static` or `-all-static`.

The bionic libc support was out of date and relied on downloading
binaries from the internet. It was already marked as obsolete. Now that
the 1.25.0 release is out it can be completely removed.

Starting with GDB9, the release number is only two numbers (with the
last being patchlevel). Therefore, keep two numbers for releases 8 and
below, but just a single number for 9 and up.

Starting with GDB10, it requires support for std::future<> in the
compiler. Such support has not been available on some architectures
until GCC9 (see PR 64735). I haven't determined the exact list of
affected architectures, so decided to make it a broad dependency: for
GDB10+, you need GCC9+.

... and the code dependent on them, after the latest wave of obsolete
package removals. This concludes the glorious history of the original
uClibc (non-NG) with lots of kludges removed.
There was a choice here, whether to call the resulting libc "uClibc" or
"uClibc-ng". I opted in favor of giving uClibc-ng the recognition it
deserves, although it had some ripple effect in the ct-ng code.

In GDB 10.x gdbserver was promoted to the top-level folder,
see https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=919adfe8409211c726c1d05b47ca59890ee648f1
Which means it is no longer a subfolder in "gdb" and so we have to
build gdbserver now exactly in the same way as normal native GDB.
One interesting detail is gdbserver doesn't need to deal with target
description in .xml so it doesn't depend on libexpat on target,
thus we need to move libexpat explicit selection from do_gdb_backend()
to its callers when building native [full] gdb as well as cross-gdb
for the host.

GDB8 (or rather gnulib that is a part of it) provides a fallback mbstate_t
definition - but GCC's C++ headers (which are used via stdint.h since GDB8
uses C++) provide another mbstate_t if libc does not have wide char support.
These two definitions conflict with each other.

Allow cross-gdb and gdbserver. This requires removal of an explicit
check that disables gdbserver on android. However, the comment above
that check refers to exec_elf.h, which has been removed since API level
19. It builds fine with current selection of the sample (21). Only
build-tested, hope someone can give it a try and report back.
We can fine tune the check for GDB but I'll leave it for now.

This serves two purposes:
- installs its manpage
- installs headers, without them it does not make sense to install a
static library
Unfortunately, there's no way to select shared-only build of DUMA.
Hence, disable selection for static library.
Also, allow user to select whether to use stock or ct-ng's wrapper.
