Avoid constant stream of TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED
If we hit the synchronous execution command case described by handle_no_resumed, and handle_no_resumed determines that the event should be ignored, because it found a thread that is executing, we end up in prepare_to_wait. There, if the current target is not registered in the event loop right now, we call mark_infrun_async_event_handler. With that event handler marked, the event loop calls again into fetch_inferior_event, which calls target_wait, which returns TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED, and we end up in handle_no_resumed, again ignoring the event and marking infrun_async_event_handler. The result is that GDB is now always keeping the CPU 100% busy in this loop, even though it continues to be able to react to input and to real target events, because we still go through the event-loop. The problem is that marking of the infrun_async_event_handler in prepare_to_wait. That is there to handle targets that don't support asynchronous execution. So the correct predicate is whether async execution is supported, not whether the target is async right now. gdb/ChangeLog: PR gdb/26199 * infrun.c (prepare_to_wait): Check target_can_async_p instead of target_is_async_p.
