Add the semihosting_exit_request function to be used by targets when
handling an `exit' semihosted syscall. This function calls gdb_exit to
close existing GDB connections, and qemu_system_shutdown_request with
the new `guest-semi-exit' exit reason. It sets the QEMU exit status
given by the exit syscall parameter. Finally it stops the CPU to prevent
further execution, and exit the CPU loop as the syscall caller expects
this syscall to not return.
This function is meant to be used in place of a raw exit() call when
handling semihosted `exit' syscalls. Such a call is not safe because
it does not allow other CPU threads to exit properly, leading to e.g.
at_exit callbacks being called while other CPUs still run. This can lead
to strange bugs, especially in plugins with a registered at_exit function.
