  When starting a remote connection GDB sends an '+':

  /* Ack any packet which the remote side has already sent.  */
  remote_serial_write ("+", 1);

which gets flagged as a garbage character in the gdbstub state
machine. As gdb does send it out lets be permissive about the handling
so we can better see real issues.
