Pedro Alves 221e1a37cd remote non-stop: Process initially stopped threads before other commands 
The main motivation for this is making non-stop / all-stop behave
similarly on initial connection, in order to move in the direction of
reimplementing all-stop mode with the remote target always running in
non-stop mode.

When we connect to a remote target in non-stop mode, we may find
threads either running or already stopped.  The act of connecting
itself does not force threads to stop.  To handle that, the remote
non-stop connection is currently roughly like this:

 #1 - Fetch list of remote threads (qXfer:threads:read, qfThreadInfo,
    etc).  All threads are assumed to be running until the target
    reports an asynchronous stop reply for them.

 #2 - Fetch the initial set of threads that were already stopped, with
    the '?'  packet.  (In non-stop, this is coupled with the vStopped
    mechanism to be able to retrieve the status of more than one
    thread.)

The stop replies fetched in #2 are placed in the pending stop reply
queue, and left for the regular event loop to process.  That is,
"target remote" finishes and returns _before_ those stops are
processed.

That means that it's possible to have GDB process further commands
before the initial set of stopped threads is reported to the user.

E.g., before the patch, note how the prompt is printed before the
frame:

 Remote debugging using :9999
 (gdb)
 [Thread 15296] #1 stopped.
 0x0000003615a011f0 in ?? ()

Even though thread #1 was not running, for a moment, the user can see
it as such:

 $ gdb a.out -ex "set non-stop 1" -ex "tar rem :9999"  -ex "info threads" -ex "info registers"
 Remote debugging using :9999
   Id   Target Id         Frame
 * 1    Thread 4772       (running)
 Target is executing.                 <<<<<<< info registers
 (gdb)
 [Thread 4772] #1 stopped.
 0x0000003615a011f0 in ?? ()

To fix that, this commit makes gdb process all threads found already
stopped at connection time, before giving the prompt to the user.

The fix takes a cue from fork-child.c:startup_inferior [1], and
processes the events locally in remote.c, avoiding the whole
wait_for_inferior/handle_inferior_event path.  I decided to try this
approach after noticing that:

 - several cases in handle_inferior_event miss checking stop_soon.
 - we don't want to fetch the thread list in normal_stop.

and trying to fix them was resulting in sprinkling stop_soon checks in
many places, and uglifying normal_stop even more.

While with this patch, I'm avoiding changing GDB's output other than
when the prompt is printed, I think this approach is more flexible if
we do want to change it.  And also, it's likely easier to get rid of
the MI *running event that is still sent for threads that are
initially found stopped, if we want to.

This happens to fix the testsuite too.  All non-stop tests are racy
against "target remote" / gdbserver testing currently.  That is,
sometimes the tests run, but other times they're just skipped without
any indication of PASS/FAIL.  When that happens, the logs show:

 target remote localhost:2346
 Remote debugging using localhost:2346
 (gdb)
 [Thread 25418] #1 stopped.
 0x0000003615a011f0 in ?? ()
 ^CQuit
 (gdb) Remote debugging from host 127.0.0.1
 Killing process(es): 25418
 monitor exit
 (gdb) Remote connection closed
 (gdb) testcase /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/build/../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/multi-create-ns-info-thr.exp completed in 61 seconds

The trouble here is that there's output after the prompt, and the
regex in question doesn't expect that:

   -re "Remote debugging using .*$serialport_re.*$gdb_prompt $" {
	verbose "Set target to $targetname"
	return 0
    }

[1] - before startup_inferior was added, we'd go through
wait_for_inferior/handle_inferior_event while going through the shell,
and that turned out problematic.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, gdbserver.
