The final part of the reverse step and break handling is to bring
the machine back to a debug stop state. gdb expects a response.

A gdb 'rsi' command hangs forever because the gdbstub filters out
the response (also observable with reverse_debugging.py avocado
tests).

Fix by setting allow_stop_reply for the gdb backward packets.

Hi!

Are you guys sure this needs to be in -stable?

To me it looks a sort of "partial revert" of a previous commit:

commit 758370052fb602f9f23c3b8ae26a6133373c78e6
Author: Matheus Tavares Bernardino <quic_mathb...@quicinc.com>
Date:   Thu May 4 12:37:31 2023 -0300
Subject: gdbstub: only send stop-reply packets when allowed to

which introduced `allow_stop_reply' field in GdbCmdParseEntry.
This change ("gdbstub: Permit..") does not work in 8.0 without
the above mentioned "gdbstub: only send" commit, and I guess
it is *not* supposed to be in stable. Or is it?

I'm not applying this one to stable for now.

Thanks,

/mjt
