Fix GDB being suspended SIGTTOU when running gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec.exp
When running under valgrind, multi-arch-exec.exp blocks forever.
Some (painful) investigation shows this is due to valgrind slowing
down GDB, and GDB has to output some messages at a different time,
when GDB does not have the terminal for output.
To reproduce the problem, you need to slow down GDB.
It can be reproduced by:
cd gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec/
../../../../gdb -ex 'set debug lin-lwp 1' -ex 'break all_started' -ex 'run' ./2-multi-arch-exec
The above stops at a breakpoint. Do continue.
GDB is then suspended because of SIGTTOU.
The stacktrace that leads to the hanging GDB is:
(top-gdb) bt
at ../../binutils-gdb/gdb/exceptions.c:130
....
Alternatively, the same happens when doing
strace -o s.out ../../../../gdb -ex 'break all_started' -ex 'run' ./2-multi-arch-exec
And of course, valgrind is also sufficiently slowing down GDB to
reproduce this :).
Fix this by calling target_terminal::ours_for_output ();
at the beginning of follow_exec.
Note that all this terminal handling is not very clear to me:
* Some code takes the terminal, and then takes care to give it back to the inferior
if the terminal was belonging to the inferior.
(e.g. annotate_breakpoints_invalid).
* some code takes the terminal, but does not give it back
(e.g. update_inserted_breakpoint_locations).
* some code takes it, and unconditionally gives it back
(e.g. handle_jit_event)
* here and there, we also find
gdb::optional<target_terminal::scoped_restore_terminal_state> term_state;
before a (sometimes optional) call to ours_for_output.
And such calls to ours_for_output is sometimes protected by:
if (target_supports_terminal_ours ())
(e.g. exceptions.c: print_flush).
but most of the code calls it without checking if the target supports it.
* some code is outputting some errors, but only takes the terminal
after. E.g. infcmd.c: prepare_one_step

* infrun.c (follow_exec): Call target_terminal::ours_for_output.
