[cdt-debug-dev] CDT should allow launching only GDB and not the applicat

There are certain things that Insight(part of the establishment) does
better than CDT(the newcomer). Competition is good.

What Insight gets right is that it does not try to control the launching
of the app. It lets the programmer be in control of this procedure.

It should be possible to launch *GDB only* from within CDT, where CDT
makes no assumptions about the state of GDB, and lets me connect to the
target, load symbols, etc. via the command line console. 

I need to use a messy&buggy&timing sensitive procedure which involves
"monitor xxx" commands that GDB does not and should not understand.

This is for embedded work.
