devel/gdb: Upgrade to 14.1

- Notable upstream fixes for FreeBSD include better support for
  multiprocessing as well as support for AVX and other extended
  registers in core dumps on newer AMD CPUs.

- Use all-gdb as the build target to reduce build time.

- sim can no longer be excluded during the tarball as a couple of
  source files in GDB now use headers from sim/ unconditionally.
  Instead, use --disable-sim to skip building the simulators.

devel/gdb: Update to 12.1.

One notable feature included in 12.1 is async target support
permitting the use of commands like continue&.

In addition, this commit backports various post-12 commits to add
support for hardware breakpoints/watchpoints on aarch64, support for
resolving TLS variables from core dumps on amd64 and i386 via the
recently added NT_X86_SEGBASES core dump note, and support for
resolving TLS variables on arm and aarch64 via the recently added
NT_ARM_TLS register set.

Update port to GDB 8.3.

New features in GDB 8.3 include support for DWARF index caches and
styling (colors) in the CLI and TUI.  Source code styling is also
available via the new SOURCE_HIGHLIGHT option (enabled by default).
GDB 8.3 also adds support for FreeBSD/riscv64.

In addition, kgdb has been updated for changes in 8.3 along with
support for FreeBSD/riscv64 kernels.

The libc++ helpers have been updated to a newer version which adds
support for std::list<> and std::forward_list<>.  The helpers now
also support Python 3.

Finally, a few post-8.3 patches have been backported which add suport
for TLS (Thread Local Storage) variables on FreeBSD amd64, i386,
powerpc, and riscv architectures.  Note that amd64 and i386 do not
support examining TLS variables in core dumps currently.  This support
along with support for additional architectures require kernel changes
and will be added in the future once the kernel has been updated.

Fixes for kgdb including initial FreeBSD/arm support.

- Improve fallback handling for the read of pcb_size.

  If for some reason kgdb has only the kernel's debug info, a read of
  pcb_size will simply return 0, resulting in an exception when unwinding
  the stack of a thread that was on a CPU at the time the dump was
  created.  In this case, fall back to using sizeof(struct pcb).
- Always supply a value for the PC register on x86.

  A thread's PCB may have been swapped out, and a dummy value ensures that
  we don't get an exception while enumerating threads in a dump.
- Mark all 64-bit address bits as valid for aarch64 kernels.

  ARMv8 supports pointer tagging in which case the upper 8 bits of VAs are
  ignored, but FreeBSD kernels are linked such that they depend on those
  upper 8 bits being set to 1.  GDB was stripping those bits by default
  causing KVAs to be mapped to invalid addresses.
- Rework kgdb -w support to only open /dev/mem writable.

  Don't depend on the gdb global 'write_files' option which tries to
  rewrite the kernel binary on close which can crash.  Instead, add an
  optional '-w' flag to 'target vmcore' which opens the vmcore with
  O_RDWR instead of O_RDONLY.  Change the kgdb '-w' option to set this
  flag in the nested 'target vmcore' command rather than passing the
  global '-w' option to gdb.
- Garbage collect old code for reading dumptid.
- First cut at FreeBSD/arm kernel support.

  Tested on live kernel on my RPi, but not against a crashdump, and only
  trapframes from userland, not a nested trap.

Upgrade to GDB 8.0.

- Commit b5430a3ced fixes parsing of 32-bit MIPS process cores.
- kgdb has been ported to 8.0 including renaming the new OSABI constant,
  using gdb_bfd_openr, new return type of ldirname, and solib_add
  changed.
- GDB 8.0 requires C++11, however the port is marked as requiring C++14
  as a workaround for bugs in clang 10.3.
- patch-armfbsd is updated for the new OSABI constant names (a.out was
  removed in 8.0) and new filename convention (arm-fbsd-*)
- patch-gdb-amd64-bsd-nat.c (renamed from patch-gdbamd64-bsd-nat.c) is
  simplified to just store the r_flags value before collecting registers
  from the register cache rather than a full copy of the entire register
  set.
- patch-gdb-corelow.c has been removed.  It isn't really correct and if
  arm cores still cause core dumps the error is in arm-fbsd-tdep.c.
- patch-gdb-i386-fbsd-nat.c renamed to account for rename of patched
  file.
- patch-gdb-x86bsd-nat.c has been removed.  The file was renamed, but the
  stock file also compiled fine for me on i386.

Fix several issues with kgdb:

- The kld parsing code in kgdb was using basename() and dirname() which
  ended up being broken by the recent changes to make dirname() modify its
  input buffer.  Modify fbsd-kld.c to use the lbasename() and ldirname()
  wrappers in gdb.
- Add the kgdb.1 manpage from base and install it as 'kgdbNNN.1' which is
  helpful since stock HEAD no longer ships a kgdb manpage.
- Link libkvm into mips binaries so that the vmcore target links.
- Bump PORTREVISION.
