follow-exec: delete all non-execing threads
This fixes invalid reads Valgrind first caught when debugging against a GDBserver patched with a series that adds exec events to the remote protocol. Like these, using the gdb.threads/thread-execl.exp test: $ valgrind ./gdb -data-directory=data-directory ./testsuite/gdb.threads/thread-execl -ex "tar extended-remote :9999" -ex "b thread_execler" -ex "c" -ex "set scheduler-locking on" ...

The exact same issue can be seen on mainline with native debugging, by running the thread-execl.exp test in non-stop mode, because the kernel doesn't report a thread exit event for the execing thread. Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20. gdb/ChangeLog: 2015-03-02 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * infrun.c (follow_exec): Delete all threads of the process except the event thread.
