Add new_inferior, inferior_deleted, and new_thread events
This adds a few new events to gdb's Python layer: new_inferior, inferior_deleted, and new_thread. I wanted to be able to add a combined inferior/thread display window to my GUI, and I needed a few events to make this work. This is PR python/15622.
