Implement 'qXfer:exec-file:read' packet in Valgrind gdbserver.
Thanks to this packet, with recent GDB (>= 7.9.50.20150514-cvs), the
command 'target remote' will automatically load the executable file of
the process running under Valgrind. This means you do not need to
specify the executable file yourself, GDB will discover it itself.
See GDB documentation about 'qXfer:exec-file:read' packet for more
info.
