kdb,kgdb: Implement switch and pass buffer from kdb -> gdb
When switching from kdb mode to kgdb mode packets were getting lost depending on the size of the fifo queue of the serial chip. When gdb initially connects if it is in kdb mode it should entirely send any character buffer over to the gdbstub when switching connections. Previously kdb was zero'ing out the character buffer and this could lead to gdb failing to connect at all, or a lengthy pause could occur on the initial connect.
