The standard remote debugging workflow with gdb is to start the
application on the remote host under gdbserver (e.g.: gdbserver :5039
a.out) and then connect to it with gdb.
The same workflow is supported by debugserver/lldb-gdbserver with a very
similar syntax but to access all features of lldb we need to be
connected also to an lldb-platform instance running on the target.
Before this change this had to be done manually with starting a separate
lldb-platform on the target machine and then connecting to it with lldb
before connecting to the process.
This change modifies the behavior of "platform connect" with
automatically connecting to the process instance if it was started by
the remote platform. With this command replacing gdbserver in a gdb
based worflow is usually as simple as replacing the command to execute
gdbserver with executing lldb-platform.

Summary:
This commit moves the m_spawned_pids member from the common LLGS/Platform class to the plaform
specific part. This enables us to remove LLGS code, which was attempting to manage the
m_spawned_pids contents, but at the same time making sure, there is only one debugged process. If
we ever want to do multi-process debugging, we will probably want to replace this with a set of
NativeProcessProtocolSP anyway. The only functional change is that support for
qKillSpawnedProcess packet is removed from LLGS, but this was not used there anyway (we have the
k packet for that).
