Our current behaviour is "auto", which means "send semihosting
commands via gdb if and only if the gdbstub has a gdb connected
when the first semihosting command is made by the guest". "native"
would mean "handle semihosting ourselves even if there's a gdb
connected". I'm not sure how useful "gdb" is as distinct from
"auto" (what do you do with the semihosting requests if no
gdb is connected in this case?).
