Fix gdb.multi/multi-term-settings.exp race

The gdb.multi/multi-term-settings.exp testcase sometimes fails like so:

 Running /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.multi/multi-term-settings.exp ...
 FAIL: gdb.multi/multi-term-settings.exp: inf1_how=attach: inf2_how=attach: stop with control-c (SIGINT)

It's easier to reproduce if you stress the machine at the same time, like e.g.:

  $ stress -c 24

Looking at gdb.log, we see:

 (gdb) FAIL: gdb.multi/multi-term-settings.exp: inf1_how=attach: inf2_how=attach: stop with control-c (SIGINT)

If you look at the testcase's sources, you'll see that the intention
is to resumes the program with "continue", wait to see a few of those
"pid=..., count=..." lines, and then interrupt the program with
Ctrl-C.  But somehow, that resulted in GDB printing "Quit", instead of
the Ctrl-C stopping the program with SIGINT.

Here's what is happening:

 #1 - those "pid=..., count=..." lines we see above weren't actually
      output by the inferior after it has been continued (see #1).
      Note that "inf1_how" and "inf2_how" are "attach".  What happened
      is that those "pid=..., count=..." lines were output by the
      inferiors _before_ they were attached to.  We see them at that
      point instead of earlier, because that's where the testcase
      reads from the inferiors' spawn_ids.

 #2 - The testcase mistakenly thinks those "pid=..., count=..." lines
      happened after the continue was processed by GDB, meaning it has
      waited enough, and so sends the Ctrl-C.  GDB hasn't yet passed
      the terminal to the inferior, so the Ctrl-C results in that
      Quit.

The fix here is twofold:

 #1 - flush inferior output right after attaching

 #2 - consume the "Continuing" printed by "continue", indicating the
      inferior has the terminal.  This is the same as done throughout
      the testsuite to handle this exact problem of sending Ctrl-C too
      soon.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
yyyy-mm-dd  Pedro Alves  <pedro@palves.net <mailto:pedro@palves.net>>

	* gdb.multi/multi-term-settings.exp (create_inferior): Flush
	inferior output.
	(coretest): Use $gdb_test_name.  After issuing "continue", wait
	for "Continuing".
