v1.8.0 is very slow stepping through code

[AJ528]

• I made serious effort to avoid creating duplicate or nearly similar issue
• Programmer/board type: STLINK V3
• Operating system and version: Linux Mint 21.3
• stlink tools version and/or git commit hash: v1.8.0
• stlink commandline tool name: st-util
• Target chip (and board, if applicable): STM32WL55 (NUCLEO-WL55JC1)

I previously reported bug#1391, which was closed because the issue appeared to come from package-manager version of stlink. After doing more research, I can now give a better bug report.

I installed release version 1.8.0 using the .deb package on the github release page. It installs correctly, but the st-util program takes 7-10 seconds for each step you do in gdb-multiarch. However, this problem is solved if you use the latest version of the code on the testing branch. It appears that commit feb7eb1 solves the problem.

I don't know if anyone else ran into this problem. It looks like the fix will come out in v1.9.0, but if anyone else runs into this I would suggest either manually adding the line of code in gdb-server.c or just compile the latest source code and run off that until v1.9.0.

Note: I would have added this as a follow-up to the previous issue, but since that has been closed I cannot comment on it
