Support for execution of asynchronous target, such as openocd, which
by default runs in the background, but if it's the only target idf.py
outputs the openocd in the console waiting for termination by user.
Supports also blocking commands gdb and gdbtui to start a debugging
session in an active console.
Supports running gdbgui running a UI debugging session in a browser
window, using the active console for other commands, such as openocd
or monitor.
Supports combining the debug targets in one action list, such as
idf.py openocd gdbgui monitor
This adds detection of UART core dumps to IDF monitor. By default,
core dumps are not printed to the console, but are processed by
espcoredump.py using 'info_corefile' command. The result is printed
to stdout.
This feature can be disabled in menuconfig.
In the future this can be extended to allow running espcoredump.py
with 'dbg_corefile' argument, which is similar to the current GDB Stub
behavior.
Related to IDF-52.
