Fix 8.2 regression in gdb.python/py-evthreads.exp w/ gdbserver (PR gdb/23379)

This commit fixes a 8.1->8.2 regression exposed by
gdb.python/py-evthreads.exp when testing with
--target_board=native-gdbserver.

gdb.log shows:

  src/gdb/thread.c:93: internal-error: thread_info* inferior_thread(): Assertion `tp' failed.
  A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
  further debugging may prove unreliable.
  Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.python/py-evthreads.exp: run to breakpoint 1 (GDB internal error)

A backtrace shows (frames #2 and #10 highlighted) that the assertion
fails when GDB is setting up the connection to the remote target, in
non-stop mode:

So on frame #10, we're marking a newly-discovered thread as running,
and that causes the Python API to emit a gdb.ContinueEvent.
gdb.ContinueEvent is a gdb.ThreadEvent, and as such includes the event
thread as the "inferior_thread" attribute.  The problem is that when
we get to frame #3/#4, we lost all references to the thread that is
being marked as running.  create_continue_event_object assumes that it
is the current thread, which is not true in this case.

Fix this by passing down the right thread in
create_continue_event_object.  Also remove
create_thread_event_object's default argument and have the only other
caller left pass down the right thread explicitly too.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-08-24  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>
	    Simon Marchi  <simon.marchi@ericsson.com>

	PR gdb/23379
	* python/py-continueevent.c: Include "gdbthread.h".
	(create_continue_event_object): Add intro comment.  Add 'ptid'
	parameter.  Use it to find thread to pass to
	create_thread_event_object.
	(emit_continue_event): Pass PTID down to
	create_continue_event_object.
	* python/py-event.h (py_get_event_thread): Declare.
	(create_thread_event_object): Remove default from 'thread'
	parameter.
	* python/py-stopevent.c (create_stop_event_object): Use
	py_get_event_thread.
	* python/py-threadevent.c (get_event_thread): Rename to ...
	(py_get_event_thread): ... this, make extern, add 'ptid' parameter
	and use it to find the thread.
	(create_thread_event_object): Assert that THREAD isn't null.
	Don't find the event thread here.
