When running test-case gdb.threads/fork-child-threads.exp with gcc-8 instead
of gcc-7, we have:
...
 (gdb) next^M
 [Attaching after Thread 0x7ffff7fae740 (LWP 27574) fork to child process \

+34        switch (fork ())^M
-(gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/fork-child-threads.exp: next over fork
+(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/fork-child-threads.exp: next over fork
...

This is due to the fact that gcc-8 generates more precise line info, making
the instruction after the call to fork a "recommended breakpoint location".
However, it is a bug because next is supposed to move to the next source
line.

The problem is that in process_event_stop_test we hit this code:
...
  if ((ecs->event_thread->suspend.stop_pc == stop_pc_sal.pc)
      && (ecs->event_thread->current_line != stop_pc_sal.line
  || ecs->event_thread->current_symtab != stop_pc_sal.symtab))
    {
      if (stop_pc_sal.is_stmt)
{
  /* We are at the start of a different line.  So stop.  Note that
     we don't stop if we step into the middle of a different line.
     That is said to make things like for (;;) statements work
     better.  */
  if (debug_infrun)
    fprintf_unfiltered (gdb_stdlog,
"infrun: stepped to a different line\n");
  end_stepping_range (ecs);
  return;
}
...
because current_line and current_symtab have initial values:
...
(gdb) p ecs->event_thread->current_line
$8 = 0
(gdb) p ecs->event_thread->current_symtab
$9 = (symtab *) 0x0
...

Fix this in follow_fork by copying current_line and current_symtab from
parent thread to child thread.

Tested on x86_64-linux, with gcc 7.5.0 and gcc 10.0.1.
