At https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18653#c7, Andrew
reports that the fix for PR gdb/18653 made GDB useless if you preload
libSegFault.so, because GDB internal-errors on startup:
$ LD_PRELOAD=libSegFault.so gdb
src/gdb/common/signals-state-save-restore.c:64: internal-error: unexpected signal handler
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Aborted (core dumped)
$
The internal error comes from the code saving the signal dispositions
inherited from gdb's parent:
(top-gdb) bt
#0 0x000000000056b001 in internal_error(char const*, int, char const*, ...) (file=0xaf5f38 "src/gdb/common/signals-state-save-restore.c", line=64, fmt=0xaf5f18 "unexpected signal handler") at src/gdb/common/errors.c:54

#5 0x0000000000413acd in main(int, char**) (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffd968) at src/gdb/gdb.c:32
This commit downgrades the internal error to a warning. You'll get
instead:
~~~
$ LD_PRELOAD=libSegFault.so gdb
warning: Found custom handler for signal 11 (Segmentation fault) preinstalled.
Some signal dispositions inherited from the environment (SIG_DFL/SIG_IGN)
won't be propagated to spawned programs.

This also moves the location where save_original_signals_state is
called a bit further below (to after option processing), so that "-q"
disables the warning:
~~~
$ LD_PRELOAD=libSegFault.so gdb -q

New testcase included.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-01-05 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
PR gdb/18653
* common/signals-state-save-restore.c
(save_original_signals_state): New parameter 'quiet'. Warn if we
find a custom handler preinstalled, instead of internal erroring.
But only warn if !quiet.
* common/signals-state-save-restore.h
(save_original_signals_state): New parameter 'quiet'.
* main.c (captured_main_1): Move save_original_signals_state call
after option handling, and pass QUIET.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
