gdb: enable target_async around stop_all_threads call in process_initial_stop_replies

The following scenario hangs:

 - maint set target-non-stop on
 - `gdbserver --attach`
 - a multi-threaded program

For example:

Terminal 1:

    $ gnome-calculator&
    [1] 495731
    $ ../gdbserver/gdbserver --once --attach :1234 495731
    Attached; pid = 495731
    Listening on port 1234

Terminal 2:

    $ ./gdb -nx -q --data-directory=data-directory /usr/bin/gnome-calculator -ex "maint set target-non-stop on" -ex "tar rem :1234"
    Reading symbols from /usr/bin/gnome-calculator...
    (No debugging symbols found in /usr/bin/gnome-calculator)
    Remote debugging using :1234
    * hangs *

What happens is:

 - The protocol between gdb and gdbserver is in non-stop mode, but the
   user-visible behavior is all-stop
 - On connect, gdbserver sends one stop reply for one thread that is
   stops, the others stay running
 - In process_initial_stop_replies, gdb calls stop_all_threads to stop
   these other threads, because we are using the all-stop user-visible
   mode
 - stop_all_threads sends a stop request for all the running threads and
   then waits for resulting events
 - At this point, the remote target is in target_async(0) mode, which
   makes stop_all_threads not consider it for events
 - stop_all_threads loops indefinitely (it does not even block
   indefinitely, it is in an infinite busy loop) because there are no
   event sources.  wait_one_event returns a TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED
   wait status.

Fix that by making the remote target async around the stop_all_threads
call.

I haven't implemented it because I'm not sure how to do it, but I think
it would be a good idea to have, in stop_all_threads / wait_one /
handle_one, an assert to check that if we are expecting one or more
event, then there are some targets that are in a state where they can
supply some events.  Otherwise, we'll necessarily be stuck in this
infinite loop, and it's probably due to a bug in GDB.  I'm not too sure
where to put this or how to express it though.  Perhaps in
stop_all_threads, here:

	  for (int i = 0; i < waits_needed; i++)
	    {
	      wait_one_event event = wait_one ();
	      *here*
	      if (handle_one (event))
		break;
	    }

If at that point, the returned event is TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED,
there's a problem.  We expect some event, because we've asked some
threads to stop, but all targets are answering that they won't have any
events for us.  That's a contradiction, and a sign that something has
gone wrong.  It could perhaps event be:

    gdb_assert (event.ws.kind != TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED);

in handle_one, as the idea is the same in prepare_for_detach.

A bit more sophisticated would be: we know which targets we are
expecting waits from, since we know which threads we have asked to
stop.  So if any of these targets returns TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED,
something is fishy.

Add a test that tests attaching with gdbserver's --attach flag to a
multi-threaded program, and then connecting to it.  Without the fix, the
test reproduces the hang.
