  In this v3:
  - Reworked the test to be more comprehensive.
  - Removed uneeded .* before Connection timeout test  

--
This patch fixes a gdbserver crash that is triggered by the following
sequence of events:

 - A process with the in-process agent loaded is debugged under gdbserver.
 - The process is detached or exits with or without stopping the trace before.
 - Commands tstatus, enable/disable, ftrace, tstop, disconnect with fast
 tracepoints are used.

Using either of tstatus or enable/disable ends up sending the qtstatus
packet to gdbserver.  During the handling of qtstatus, agent_loaded_p ()
returns true, even though the process that once had the agent loaded is
not present anymore.  We end up trying to read memory with
current_thread == NULL, causing a segfault here:

  gdb/gdbserver/linux-low.c:5560(linux_read_memory)[0x43583c]
  gdb/gdbserver/target.c:153(read_inferior_memory)[0x415d78]
  gdb/gdbserver/tracepoint.c:424(read_inferior_uinteger)[0x41c7fb]

  gdb/gdbserver/server.c:3723(captured_main)[0x413a53]
  gdb/gdbserver/server.c:3802(main)[0x413c2f]

ftrace, tstop and quit need to be protected from current_thread == NULL in a
similar manner.

This patch adds a test called
gdb.trace/ftrace-commands-after-detach-or-exit.exp.

No regression on x86-linux { native-gdbserver , native-extended-gdbserver }

gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:

	* tracepoint.c (cmd_qtdp): Check for current_thread == NULL.
	(cmd_qtenable_disable): Likewise.
	(cmd_qtstart): Likewise.
	(stop_tracing): Likewise.
	(cmd_qtstop): Likewise.
	(cmd_qtstatus): Likewise.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.trace/ftrace-commands-after-detach-or-exit.c: New file.
	* gdb.trace/ftrace-commands-after-detach-or-exit.exp: New test.
	* lib/gdbserver-support.exp (gdb_target_cmd): Add support for connection
	timed out error.
