This patch fixes a few problems with GDB's time handling.
#1 - It avoids problems with gnulib's C++ namespace support
On MinGW, the struct timeval that should be passed to gnulib's
gettimeofday replacement is incompatible with libiberty's
timeval_sub/timeval_add. That's because gnulib also replaces "struct
timeval" with its own definition, while libiberty expects the
system's.
E.g., in code like this:
gettimeofday (&prompt_ended, NULL);
timeval_sub (&prompt_delta, &prompt_ended, &prompt_started);
timeval_add (&prompt_for_continue_wait_time,
&prompt_for_continue_wait_time, &prompt_delta);
That's currently handled in gdb by not using gnulib's gettimeofday at
all (see common/gdb_sys_time.h), but that #undef hack won't work with
if/when we enable gnulib's C++ namespace support, because that mode
adds compile time warnings for uses of ::gettimeofday, which are hard
errors with -Werror.
#2 - But there's an elephant in the room: gettimeofday is not monotonic...
We're using it to:
a) check how long functions take, for performance analysis
b) compute when in the future to fire events in the event-loop
c) print debug timestamps
But that's exactly what gettimeofday is NOT meant for. Straight from
the man page:
~~~
The time returned by gettimeofday() is affected by
discontinuous jumps in the system time (e.g., if the system
administrator manually changes the system time). If you need a
monotonically increasing clock, see clock_gettime(2).
~~~
std::chrono (part of the C++11 standard library) has a monotonic clock
exactly for such purposes (std::chrono::steady_clock). This commit
switches to use that instead of gettimeofday, fixing all the issues
mentioned above.

After the last gnulib import (Dec 2012), gnulib upstream started
replacing mingw's 'struct timeval' with a version with 64-bit time_t,
for POSIX compliance:
commit f8e84098084b3b53bc6943a5542af1f607ffd477
Author: Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
Date: Sat Jan 28 18:12:10 2012 +0100
sys_time: Override 'struct timeval' on some native Windows platforms.
See:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-01/msg00372.html
However, that results in conflicts with native Winsock2's 'select':
select()'s argument
http://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/mailman/message/29610438/
... and libiberty's timeval-utils.h timeval_add/timeval_sub, at the
least.
We don't really need the POSIX compliance, so this patch prepares us
to simply not use gnulib's 'struct timeval' replacement once a more
recent gnulib is imported, thus preserving the current behavior, by
adding a sys/time.h wrapper header that undefs gnulib's replacements,
and including that everywhere instead.
The SIZE -> OSIZE change is necessary because newer gnulib's
sys/time.h also includes windows.h/winsock2.h, which defines a
conflicting SIZE symbol.
Cross build-tested mingw-w64 32-bit and 64-bit.
Regtested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

This introduces common-debug.h. This holds the functions debug_printf
and debug_vprintf, two functions that the common code can use to print
debugging messages. Clients of the common code are expected to
implement debug_vprintf; a debug_vprintf function is written from
scratch for GDB, and gdbserver's existing debug_printf is repurposed
as debug_vprintf.
common/agent.c is changed to use debug_vprintf rather than
defining the macro DEBUG_AGENT depending on GDBSERVER.
nat/i386-dregs.c is changed to use the externally-implemented
debug_printf, rather than defining it itself.

This builds a libiberty just for gdbserver and arranges for gdbserver
to use it. I've tripped across the lack of libiberty in gdbserver at
least once, and I have seen other threads where it would have been
useful.
