gdb/infrun: make fetch_inferior_event restore thread if exited or signalled

Commit 152a1749566 ("gdb: prune inferiors at end of
fetch_inferior_event, fix intermittent failure of
gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp") introduced some follow-fork-related
test failures, such as:

What happens here is:

 - inferior 2 is selected
 - we continue, leading to inferior 2's exit
 - we set breakpoint, expect 2 locations, but only one location is
   resolved

Reading between the lines, we understand that inferior 2 got pruned,
when it shouldn't have been.

The issue can be reproduced by hand with:

After handling the EXITED event for inferior 2, inferior 2 should have
stayed the current inferior, which should have prevented it from getting
pruned.  When debugging, we find that when getting at the
prune_inferiors call, the current inferior is inferior 1.  Further
debugging shows that prior to the call to
clean_up_just_stopped_threads_fsms, the current inferior is inferior 2,
and after, it's inferior 1.  Then, back in fetch_inferior_event, the
restore_thread object is disabled, due to:

    /* If we got a TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED event, then the
       previously selected thread is gone.  We have two
       choices - switch to no thread selected, or restore the
       previously selected thread (now exited).  We chose the
       later, just because that's what GDB used to do.  After
       this, "info threads" says "The current thread <Thread
       ID 2> has terminated." instead of "No thread
       selected.".  */
    if (!non_stop
&& cmd_done
&& ecs->ws.kind () != TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED)
      restore_thread.dont_restore ();

So in the end, inferior 1 stays current, and inferior 2 gets wrongfully
pruned.

I'd say clean_up_just_stopped_threads_fsms is the culprit here.  It
actually attempts to restore the event_thread to be current at the end,
after the loop (I presume the current thread on entry is always supposed
to be the event thread).  But in this case, the event is of kind EXITED,
and ecs->event_thread is not set, so the current inferior isn't
restored.

Fix that by using scoped_restore_current_thread.  If there is no current
thread, scoped_restore_current_thread will still restore the current
inferior, and that's what we want.

Random note: the thread_info object for inferior 2's thread is never
freed.  It is held (by refcount) by the restore_thread object in
fetch_inferior_event, while the inferior's thread list gets cleared, in
the exit event processing.  When the refcount reaches 0 (when the
restore_thread object is destroyed), there's nothing that actually
deletes the thread_info object.  And I think that nothing in GDB points
to it anymore, so it leaks.  I don't want to fix that in this patch, but
thought it would be good to mention it, in case somebody has an idea for
how to fix that.
