I've been meaning to repost this for some time, and inspired by
having someone keen to review it, I dug it out again!

I split this as carefully as I could into small pieces but the original
code was complex so even in small bits it doesn't make for light
reading.  Things do make more sense once you realize/remember that
escape_delay is a count down timer that expires the escape sequences!

Most of the patches are simple tidy ups although patches 4 and 5
introduce new behaviours. Patch 4 shouldn't be controversial but
perhaps patch 5 is (although hopefully not ;-) ).

Mostly this is auto tested, see here:
https://github.com/daniel-thompson/kgdbtest/commit/c65e28d99357c2df6dac2cebe195574e634d04dc

Changes in v2:

 - Improve comment in patch 4 to better describe what is happening
 - Rebase on v5.4-rc2
