[PR gdb/25939] Move push_target call earlier in procfs.c

Since the multi-target patch, the run command fails on Solaris with an
assertion failure even for a trivial program:

$ ./gdb -D ./data-directory ./hello
GNU gdb (GDB) 10.0.50.20200106-git
[...]
Reading symbols from ./hello...
(gdb) run
Starting program: /vol/obj/gnu/gdb/gdb/reghunt/no-resync/122448/gdb/hello
/vol/src/gnu/gdb/hg/master/reghunt/gdb/thread.c:336: internal-error:
thread_info::thread_info(inferior*, ptid_t): Assertion `inf_ != NULL'
failed.

Here's the start of the corresponding stack trace:

Looking closer, I found that in add_thread_silent as called from
procfs.c (procfs_target::create_inferior) find_inferior_ptid returns
NULL.  The all_inferiors (targ) iterator comes up empty.

Going from there, I see that in add_thread_silent

m_target_stack = {m_top = file_stratum, m_stack = {0x20190e0
<the_dummy_target>, 0x200b8c0 <exec_ops>, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0}}}

i.e. the_procfs_target is missing compared to the_amd64_linux_nat_target
on Linux/x86_64.

Moving the push_target call earlier allows debugging to get over the
initial assertion failure.  I run instead into

procfs: couldn't find pid 0 in procinfo list.

which is fixed by

https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-June/169674.html

Both patches tested together on amd64-pc-solaris2.11.
