Fix core-file -> detach -> crash (corefiles/29275)
After loading a core file, you're supposed to be able to use "detach"
to unload the core file. That unfortunately regressed starting with
GDB 11, with these commits:
1192f124a308 - gdb: generalize commit_resume, avoid commit-resuming when threads have pending statuses
408f66864a1a - detach in all-stop with threads running
resulting in a GDB crash:
...
Thread 1 "gdb" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The code that crashes looks like:
static void
maybe_set_commit_resumed_all_targets ()
{
scoped_restore_current_thread restore_thread;
for (inferior *inf : all_non_exited_inferiors ())
{
process_stratum_target *proc_target = inf->process_target ();
if (proc_target->commit_resumed_state)
^^^^^^^^^^^
With 'proc_target' above being null. all_non_exited_inferiors filters
out inferiors that have pid==0. We get here at the end of
detach_command, after core_target::detach has already run, at which
point the inferior _should_ have pid==0 and no process target. It is
clear it no longer has a process target, but, it still has a pid!=0
somehow.
The reason the inferior still has pid!=0, is that core_target::detach
just unpushes, and relies on core_target::close to actually do the
getting rid of the core and exiting the inferior. The problem with
that is that detach_command grabs an extra strong reference to the
process stratum target, so the unpush_target inside
core_target::detach doesn't actually result in a call to
core_target::close.
Fix this my moving the cleaning up the core inferior to a shared
routine called by both core_target::close and core_target::detach. We
still need to cleanup the inferior from within core_file::close
because there are paths to it that want to get rid of the core without
going through detach. E.g., "core-file" -> "run".
This commit includes a new test added to gdb.base/corefile.exp to
cover the "core-file core" -> "detach" scenario.
