gdb_server: Fix confusing warning when entering noack mode 

Comment in gdb_server code mistakenly attributed constant warnings
about unexpected acknowledgement to the ACK packet sent by GDB when
establishing connection. However that is not the case, OpenOCD
gdb_server is handling this packet correctly without an warnings. This
warning instead was caused by the ACK packet which GDB sends right after
going into noack mode. Because OpenOCD gdb_server is already in noack
mode at this state, it emits warning about it. This is a documented GDB
behaviour
(https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Packet-Acknowledgment.html)
so there is no reason to scare users with warnings in this case.

This patch basically introduces two-level noack mode: after receiving
QStartNoAckMode gdb_server will set noack_mode to 1, then it will
receive this last ACK packet, but instead of printing a warning,
noack_mode will be increased to 2. Should there be any other ACK packets
after that, they will be properly reported by warning. All other code
that relies on noack_mode checks it for "!= 0", so there will be no
difference if it is 1 or 2.
