Fix for spurious prompts in secondary UIs
Running mi-break.exp with MI on a secondary UI reveals that MI emits
spurious prompts compared MI running as primary UI:
-exec-continue
^running
*running,thread-id="all"
(gdb)
=breakpoint-modified,bkpt={number="9",type="breakpoint",disp="keep",enabled="y",func="callee2",line="39",script={"set $i=0","while $i<10","print $i","set $i=$i+1","end","continue"}}
~"\n"
~"Breakpoint 9, callee2 (intarg=2, strarg=0x400730 \"A string argument.\") at ...src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.mi/basics.c:39\n"
~"39\t callee3 (strarg);\n"
*stopped,reason="breakpoint-hit",disp="keep",bkptno="9",frame={addr="0x00000000004005dd",func="callee2",...
*running,thread-id="all"

FAIL: gdb.mi/mi-break.exp: intermediate stop and continue
FAIL: gdb.mi/mi-break.exp: test hitting breakpoint with commands (timeout)
Note the line marked >> above.
The test sets a breakpoint that runs "continue", a foreground command.
When we get to run the "continue", we've already emitted the *stopped
event on the MI UI, and set its prompt state to PROMPT_NEEDED (this is
done from within normal_stop). Since inferior events are always
handled with the main UI as current UI, breakpoint commands always run
with the main UI as current UI too. This means that the "continue"
ends up always disabling the prompt on the main UI, instead of the UI
that had just been done with synchronous execution.
I think we'll want to extend this with a concept of "set of
threads/inferiors a UI/interpreter is blocked waiting on", but I'm
leaving that for a separate series.
