winedbg: Cache GDB qXfer command result for chunked fetching.

GDB does not retrieve the result of a qXfer command at once; instead, it
issues a series of requests to obtain the result one "chunk" at a time,
and concatenates those chunks internally.  Each request contains offset
and length variables that specify which portion of the result shall be
retrieved.

Today, Winedbg handles this by generating the entire result data each
time a request is received and slicing out the requested range for the
response.  This is not only inefficient due to repeated computation,
but also prone to race condition since the result may change between
successive chunk requests due to the dynamic nature of some commands
such as "libraries" and "threads."

Fix this by cacheing the result into a buffer at the first request, and
use the buffer to serve successive chunk requests.  The cache is
invalidated when the remote requests a different object, or the debugger
reaches the end of the result cache buffer.
