gdb: centralize "[Thread ...exited]" notifications

Currently, each target backend is responsible for printing "[Thread
...exited]" before deleting a thread.  This leads to unnecessary
differences between targets, like e.g. with the remote target, we
never print such messages, even though we do print "[New Thread ...]".

E.g., debugging the gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp
with gdbserver, letting it run for a bit, and then pressing Ctrl-C, we
currently see:

 (gdb) c
 Continuing.

Above, we only see "New Thread" notifications, even though threads
were deleted.

After this patch, we'll see:

 (gdb) c

This commit fixes this by moving the thread exit printing to common
code instead, triggered from within delete_thread (or rather,
set_thread_exited).

There's one wrinkle, though.  While most targest want to print:

 [Thread ... exited]

the Windows target wants to print:

 [Thread ... exited with code <exit_code>]

... and sometimes wants to suppress the notification for the main
thread.  To address that, this commits adds a delete_thread_with_code
function, only used by that target (so far).

This fix was originally posted as part of a larger series:

  https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/20221212203101.1034916-1-pedro@palves.net/

But didn't really need to be part of that series.  In order to get
this fix merged sooner, I (Andrew Burgess) have rebased this commit
outside of the original series.  Any bugs introduced while splitting
this patch out and rebasing, are entirely my own.
