[v2] remote.c: Make packet_check_result return a structure

  packet_check_result currently returns an packet_result enum.
If GDB will recieve an error in a format E.errtext, which
is possible for some q packets, such errtext is lost if
treated by packet_check_result.
Introduce a new structure which bundles enum packet_result
with possible error message or error code returned by
the GDBserver.
I plan to make more GDBserver response checking functions to use
packet_check_result to make remote.c code more consistent.
This will also allow to use E.errtext more in the future.

There's no infrastructure to test this with a test case so
I tested this by modifying store_registers_using_G function
to get an error message:

[remote] Sending packet: $GG00000000 ...

gdbserver: Wrong sized register packet (expected 1792 bytes, got 1793)
gdbserver: Invalid hex digit 71
Killing process(es): 1104002
[remote] Packet received: E01
Could not write registers; remote failure reply '01'

v2:
- Added a unit test for packet_check_result.
- Improved formatting and reorganised packet_result structure.
- Renamed pkt_status to pkt_result and result to status varariablese
where suitable.
