/**
* GDB RSP command packets are sent to the server, from the GDB client. These packets carry instructions that the
* server is expected to carry out. Upon completion, the server is expected to respond to the client with
* a ResponsePacket.
*
* For some command packets, we define a specific data structure by extending this CommandPacket class. These
* classes extend the data structure to include fields for data which may be specific to the command.
* They also implement additional methods that allow us to easily access the additional data. An example
* of this would be the SupportedFeaturesQuery class. It extends the CommandPacket class and provides access
* to additional data fields that are specific to the command (in this case, a set of GDB features reported to be
* supported by the GDB client).
*
* Typically, command packets that require specific data structures are handled in a dedicated handler method
* in the GdbRspDebugServer. This is done by double dispatching the packet object to the appropriate handler.
* See CommandPacket::dispatchToHandler(), GdbRspDebugServer::serve() and the overloads
* for GdbRspDebugServer::handleGdbPacket() for more on this.
*
* Some command packets are so simple they do not require a dedicated data structure. An example of this is
* the halt reason packet, which contains nothing more than an ? character in the packet body. These packets are
* typically handled in the generic GdbRspDebugServer::handleGdbPacket(CommandPacket&) method.
*
* See the Packet class for information on how the raw packets are formatted.
