In the context of using the remote gdb with multiple
processes/inferiors (multi cluster machine) a given breakpoint will
target an specific inferior. Current implementation of
tcg_insert_breakpoint and tcg_remove_breakpoint apply a given
breakpoint to all the cpus available in the system.

This is not how gdb expects the remote protocol to behave. If we
refer to the current source of gdb, in the function
remote_target::insert_breakpoint in the file gdb/remote.c we can see
the intention to have the right process selected before breakpoint
insertion:

int
remote_target::insert_breakpoint (struct gdbarch *gdbarch,
                                  struct bp_target_info *bp_tgt)
{
...
  /* Make sure the remote is pointing at the right process, if
     necessary.  */
  if (!gdbarch_has_global_breakpoints (current_inferior ()->arch ()))
    set_general_process ();
...
}

Since most platforms do not have global breakpoints, this typically
will result in an 'Hg' Packet sent before 'z/Z', if gdb is not
pointing to the desired process.

For instance this is a concrete example obtained with a trace dump:

gdbstub_io_command Received: Hgp2.2
gdbstub_io_command Received: Z0,4000ded0,4

Only the CPUs associated with the selected process ID should insert
or remove the breakpoint. It is important to apply it to all the CPUs
in the process ID regardless of the particular thread selected by the
'Hg' packet because even in the case of a thread specific breakpoint.
A breakpoint on a specific thread is treated as a conditional break
similar to a 'break if'. This can be read in the code and comments of
function bpstat_check_breakpoint_conditions in the file
gdb/breakpoint.c

/* For breakpoints that are currently marked as telling gdb to stop,
   check conditions (condition proper, frame, thread and ignore count)
   of breakpoint referred to by BS.  If we should not stop for this
   breakpoint, set BS->stop to 0.  */

static void
bpstat_check_breakpoint_conditions (bpstat *bs, thread_info *thread)

The patch creates a function to identify the CPUs that should be
affected by the breakpoint insertion/deletion operations based on the
thread-id sent in the last 'Hg' packet. When multiprocess gdb is not
used it falls back to applying the breakpoints to all cpus.
