[WIP] [gdb] Using pty for stdout (#50)

* Fix exception occuring in case of illigal stack_frame string.

* Refactor to use pty for capturing output.

* [CD] Upload package to PyPI when creating a release (#48)

* enable running the script without installing as a package

While developing, we can test out changes without pip install

* [CD] Upload package to PyPI when creating a release

* fix according to code review

* fix permissions

* Fix buffer.

* Include stdout and stdin as subwindows.

* Add debugee stdout and stdin windows.

* Intercept gdb output even if it appears with delays.

* Remove " as they may break the json format.

* Fix parsing of the speacial commands to follow the new approach.

* Disable not implemented function call.

* Reduce timeout so that commands are completed quickley.

* Add default values.

* Use full path of the file.

* Use parallel and non blocking calls to speed command execution.

* Fix issuing single commands

* Fix receiving of debuggee output.

* Remove " from the stack, args and locals output.

Prevents from violating the json generated.

* Disable debuginfod.

* Ensure debuggee output is flused before a ywrite.

* Disable stdout flush as it discards debuggee stdout.

* remove additional panels used while developing (#58)
