gdbserver:prepare_access_memory: pick another thread

Say GDB wants to access the inferior process's memory.  The current
remote general thread is 3, but GDB's switched to thread 2.  Because
both threads are of the same process, GDB skips making the remote
thread be thread 2 as well (sending an Hg packet) before accessing
memory (remote.c:set_general_process).  However, if thread 3 has
exited meanwhile, thread 3 no longer exists on the server and
gdbserver points current_thread to NULL.  The result is the memory
access fails, even through the process still exists.

Fix this by making prepare_to_access memory select the thread to
access memory through.
