Specific remote debugging support

At the moment I can use C::B to debug an ARM target by specifying 'target remote localhost:7700' as an initialisation command in the global debugger settings. This connects to a gdbserver-type interface running on the local PC and listening on port 7700.

There are a couple of things that would make this bettter.

One is to either (a) have a project-specific debugger initialisation, or (b) have specific support for remote target specification. The reason for this is that sometimes I will want to debug via port 7701 or 7702 depending on how many CPUs are on the target and that's really a project-specific rather than global concern.

The second desirable thing would be to support downloading the compiled binary to the target using standard GDB commands. I guess I could do this using 'Send user command to debugger' but a streamlined method for this would be really useful.
