Test for PR18749: problems if whole process dies while (ptrace-) stopped
This adds a kfailed test that has the whole process exit just while
several threads continuously step over a breakpoint. Usually, the
process exits just while GDB or GDBserver is handling the breakpoint
hit. In other words, the process disappears while the event thread is
(ptrace-) stopped. This exposes several issues in GDB and GDBserver.
Errors, crashes, etc.
I fixed some of these issues recently, but there's a lot more to do.
It's a bit like playing whack-a-mole at the moment. You fix an issue,
which then exposes several others.
E.g., with the native target, you get (among other errors):
