-Wpointer-sign: char -> gdb_byte.

-Wpointer-sign catches all these cases across the codebase that should
be using gdb_byte for raw target bytes.  I think these are all
obvious, hence I've collapsed into a single patch.

This is sort of the opposite of the previous patch.  Places that

Addresses on MIPS are signed, and we're indeed using

warning.  I've chosen to change the variable's type.  I believe this

serial_write: change prototype to take a void-pointer buffer.

While remote.c works with "char *" buffers most of the time, other
remote targets have binary-ish-er protocols, and choose to use
"unsigned char" throughout, like e.g., remote-mips.c or
remote-m32r-sdi.c.  That results in -Wpointer-sign warnings in those
targets, unless we add casts in calls to serial_write.  Since
serial_write is only concerned about sending raw host bytes out, and
serial_ops->write_prim already works with "void *"/"size_t", a similar
interface to the "write" or "send" system calls, I find it natural to
change serial_write's prototype accordingly, avoiding the need for
casts.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, and also by building x86_64-mingw32

gdb_byte for binary buffer, char for string: remote.c, tracepoint.c.

While the RSP is largely ASCII based (hence the packet buffer type is
char *), at places we pass around 8-bit binary packets in that buffer.
Functions like hex2bin or remote_escape_output conceptually are
handling binary buffers, so I left them as working with gdb_byte, and
added casts where necessary.  Whether these are host bytes or target
bytes is blurry at present, so this is largely a matter of taste.
Switching some of these functions to take "char *" or "void *" would
be equally good.

The mips packet payload is ASCII, so it makes sense for
mips_send_packet and mips_receive_packet to expose 'char *'-based
interfaces, as currently they do.  But, mips packets have a binary
header, so if you look at e.g., mips_receive_packet's implementation,
you'll see "unsigned char" buffers in use.  I find it the most natural
to make the payload pointer passed to mips_cksum 'char *' too.

The other changes are straightforward adjustments -- a checksum is
naturally unsigned, and there's one point where we're reading a bfd section.

	* remote-mips.c (mips_cksum): Rename 'data' parameter to 'datastr'
	and change its type to 'const char *'.  Adjust.
	(mips_send_packet): Add cast to 'char *', and remove cast to
	'unsigned char *'.
	(mips_receive_packet): Remove cast to 'unsigned char *'.
	(mips_load_srec): Use bfd_byte.
	(pmon_makeb64, pmon_zeroset): Make 'chksum' parameter unsigned.
	(pmon_checkset): Make 'value' parameter unsigned.
-Wpointer-sign: python/.

This fixes -Wpointer-sign warnings in the python/ code in the manner
that seems most appropriate to me.

	* python/py-inferior.c (infpy_write_memory): Add cast to gdb_byte
	* python/py-prettyprint.c (print_string_repr): Change type of
	'output' local to char *.  Add cast to gdb_byte * in
	LA_PRINT_STRING call.
	(print_children): Change type of 'output' local to char *.
	* python/py-value.c (valpy_string): Add cast to const char * in
	PyUnicode_Decode call.
-Wpointer-sign: bookmarks.

Bookmarks are opaque to the core code -- by design, the target is free
to use any sort of blob as bookmark identifier.

The record target chooses to use strings for bookmarks.  This adds
casts following that direction, fixing -Wpointer-sign warnings.

	* record-full.c (record_full_get_bookmark): Change local 'ret'
	type to char * and add cast to gdb_byte *.
	(record_full_goto_bookmark): Handle 'bookmark' argument as a
	string.
	* reverse.c (goto_bookmark_command): Add casts to gdb_byte *.
-Wpointer-sign: coff-pe-read.c: treat strings in PE/COFF data as char *.

A couple places take a pointer to the middle of some raw section
buffer and treat them as strings.  Add casts to char * as appropriate,
fixing -Wpointer-sign warnings.

	* coff-pe-read.c (read_pe_exported_syms): Handle strings as char.
-Wpointer-sign: xcoffread.c.

../../src/gdb/xcoffread.c: In function ‘xcoff_initial_scan’:
../../src/gdb/xcoffread.c:2982:17: error: pointer targets in assignment differ in signedness [-Werror=pointer-sign]

'debugsec' is a 'bfd_byte *', holding the result of a
bfd_get_full_section_contents.  'info->debugsec' holds the same
contents throughout the whole xcoff read, and everywhere it's used to
read symbol names.  Simply adding a cast feels appropriate.
