gdb: make thread_suspend_state::stop_pc optional

Currently the stop_pc field of thread_suspect_state is a CORE_ADDR and
when we want to indicate that there is no stop_pc available we set
this field back to a special value.

There are actually two special values used, in post_create_inferior
the stop_pc is set to 0.  This is a little unfortunate, there are
plenty of embedded targets where 0 is a valid pc value.  The more
common special value for stop_pc though, is set in
thread_info::set_executing, where the value (~(CORE_ADDR) 0) is used.

This commit changes things so that the stop_pc is instead a
gdb::optional.  We can now explicitly reset the field to an
uninitialised state, we also have asserts that we don't read the
stop_pc when its in an uninitialised state (both in
gdbsupport/gdb_optional.h, when compiling with _GLIBCXX_DEBUG
defined, and in thread_info::stop_pc).

One situation where a thread will not have a stop_pc value is when the
thread is stopped as a consequence of GDB being in all stop mode, and
some other thread stopped at an interesting event.  When GDB brings
all the other threads to a stop those other threads will not have a
stop_pc set (thus avoiding an unnecessary read of the pc register).

Previously, when GDB passed through handle_one (in infrun.c) the
threads executing flag was set to false and the stop_pc field was left
unchanged, i.e. it would (previous) have been left as ~0.

Now, handle_one leaves the stop_pc with no value.

This caused a problem when we later try to set these threads running
again, in proceed() we compare the current pc with the cached stop_pc.
If the thread was stopped via handle_one then the stop_pc would have
been left as ~0, and the compare (in proceed) would (likely) fail.
Now however, this compare tries to read the stop_pc when it has no
value and this would trigger an assert.

To resolve this I've added thread_info::stop_pc_p() which returns true
if the thread has a cached stop_pc.  We should only ever call
thread_info::stop_pc() if we know that there is a cached stop_pc,
however, this doesn't mean that every call to thread_info::stop_pc()
needs to be guarded with a call to thread_info::stop_pc_p(), in most
cases we know that the thread we are looking at stopped due to some
interesting event in that thread, and so, we know that the stop_pc is
valid.

After running the testsuite I've seen no other situations where
stop_pc is read uninitialised.

There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
