Now gdbstub has gained the ability to extend its command tables we can
allow it to trigger plugin callbacks. This is probably most useful for
QEMU developers debugging plugins themselves but might be useful for
other stuff.

Trigger the callback by sending:

   maintenance packet Qqemu.plugin_cb

I've extended the memory plugin to report on the packet.

This is a very nice addition!
Beyond developers, it can be very useful for plugins because you can start to script instrumentation using gdb.

Would that be possible to register several commands, with different names? It seems a bit arbitrary to be able to register only one command, with a fixed name, when we could have several.

In more, it could be nice to be able to pass a list of parameters (as a simple string or string array) to the callback on plugin side.
