I noticed that the triple is hex encoded:
```
read packet: $triple:616172636836342d2d6c696e75782d676e75;....
aarch64--linux-gnu
```
Turns out most of the strings are but we hadn't
documented that.

Key value pairs are one of:
* `cputype`: is a number that is the mach-o CPU type that is being debugged
(base 10)
* `cpusubtype`: is a number that is the mach-o CPU subtype type that is being
debugged (base 10)
-* `triple`: a string for the target triple (x86_64-apple-macosx) that can be
used to specify arch + vendor + os in one entry
+* `triple`: a hex encoded string for the target triple (for example
x86_64-apple-macosx) that can be used to specify arch + vendor + os in one entry
* `vendor`: a string for the vendor (apple), not needed if "triple" is
specified
* `ostype`: a string for the OS being debugged (macosx, linux, freebsd, ios,
watchos), not needed if "triple" is specified
* `endian`: is one of "little", "big", or "pdp"
* `ptrsize`: an unsigned number that represents how big pointers are in bytes
on the debug target
-* `hostname`: the hostname of the host that is running the GDB server if
available
-* `os_build`: a string for the OS build for the remote host as a string value
-* `os_kernel`: a string describing the kernel version
+* `hostname`: optional, a hex encoded string of the hostname of the host that
is running the GDB server
+* `os_build`: a hex encoded string for the OS build for the remote host as a
string value
+* `os_kernel`: a hex encoded string describing the kernel version
* `os_version`: a version string that represents the current OS version
(10.8.2)
* `watchpoint_exceptions_received`: one of "before" or "after" to specify if a
watchpoint is triggered before or after the pc when it stops
* `default_packet_timeout`: an unsigned number that specifies the default
timeout in seconds
-* `distribution_id`: optional. For linux, specifies distribution id (e.g.
ubuntu, fedora, etc.)
+* `distribution_id`: optional hex encoded string. For linux, specifies
distribution id (e.g. ubuntu, fedora, etc.)
* `osmajor`: optional, specifies the major version number of the OS (e.g. for
macOS 10.12.2, it would be 10)
* `osminor`: optional, specifies the minor version number of the OS (e.g. for
macOS 10.12.2, it would be 12)

macOS 10.12.2, it would be 2)
