Fix

Since we support remote debugging and remote attach, I thought it would be nice to show the user what host we are connected to.

This may also prove useful for multi-process debugging, later on.

This patch always adds a (<host>) after the process name, even for local sessions, where the host is "localhost".  I thought it would be consistent; however, it would be easy to only show a host name for remote sessions.

Opinions?

I like this feature, too bad it slipped through the cracks it seems :-(.

I forgot about this one.
I can add it for 1.1.1

Technically point-point releases should be for bug fixes only (no new features or APIs).  But I think this may also be a problem for the multi-process debugging that we would like to fully support when GDB 7 is ready.

Ok, we can see what updates are needed to keep our features working for GDB 7.  Any new features of GDB 7 that we don't support yet, can probably go into the Galileo release.
