Norman Feske 6a57683e52 New debug monitor
The new monitor component at os/src/monitor is the designated successor
of the gdb_monitor. This initial version, however, implements only the
subset needed to inspect the memory of the monitored component(s).

In contrast to the gdb_monitor, the new component supports the monitoring
of multiple components, leveraging the sandbox API. It can therefore be
used as a drop-in replacement for the init component. Like the gdb_monitor,
the new monitor speaks the GDB protocol over Genode's terminal session.
But the protocol implementation does not re-use any gdbserver code,
sidestepping the complexities of POSIX.

There exist two run scripts illustrating the new component. The
os/run/monitor.run script exercises memory inspection via the 'm' command
by letting a test program monitor itself. The os/run/monitor_gdb.run
script allows for the interactive use of GDB to interact with monitored
components.
