Stop sending qTStatus if the target doesn't recognize it; add packet configuration...

GDB currently sends a qTStatus even if the target previously replied
an empty packet to a previous qTStatus.  If the target doesn't
recognize the packet, there's no point in trying again.

The machinery we have in place is packet_ok, which has the nice side
effect of forcing one to install a configuration command/knob for the
packet in question, which is often handy when you need to debug
things, and/or emulate a target that doesn't support the packet, or even,
it can be used as workaround for the old broken kgdb's that return error
to qTSTatus instead of an empty packet.
