Subject: Windows gdbserver: Eliminate soft-interrupt mechanism

I noticed that faked_breakpoint is write only.  And then I hacked
win32_process_target::request_interrupt to force it to stop threads
using the soft_interrupt_requested mechanism (which suspends threads,
and then fakes a breakpoint event in the main thread), and saw that it
no longer works -- gdbserver crashes accessing a NULL current_thread,
because fake_breakpoint_event does not switch to a thread.

This code was originally added for Windows CE, as neither
GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent nor DebugBreakProcess worked there.

We nowadays require Windows XP or later, and XP has DebugBreakProcess.

The soft_interrupt_requested mechanism has other problems, like for
example faking the event in the main thread, even if that thread was
previously stopped, due to scheduler-locking.

A following patch will add a similar mechanism stopping all threads
with SuspendThread to native GDB, for non-stop mode, which doesn't
have these problems.  It's different enough from this old code that I
think we should just rip the old code out, and reimplement it from
scratch (based on gdb's version) when we need it.
