When attaching to a process via SSH, the debugger hung at 'Initializing debugger' because readlink was sent through GDB's MI interface which has no timeout. ExecuteSyncCommand on the SSH port did not exist when this code was written (PR #432), but was added two weeks later (PR #446). Changes: - DebuggedProcess.cs: Run readlink/lsof directly via the SSH port's ExecuteSyncCommand with a 30s timeout instead of GDB's MI interface. The -file-exec-and-symbols command still goes through GDB. - AD7Port.cs: Skip VS wait dialog when ExecuteSyncCommand is called from a background thread (debugger worker thread hits an assert otherwise). - ResourceStrings: Add localized strings for progress and error messages (timeout, non-zero exit code).
