These three test all spawn a few threads and then send a SIGSTOP to
their parent GDB in order to pause it while the new threads set things
up for the test. With a GDB patch that changes the inferior thread's
scheduling a bit, I sometimes see:
FAIL: gdb.threads/siginfo-threads.exp: catch signal 0 (timeout)
...
FAIL: gdb.threads/watchthreads-reorder.exp: reorder1: continue a (timeout)
...
FAIL: gdb.threads/ia64-sigill.exp: continue (timeout)
...
The issue is that the test program stops GDB before it had a chance of
processing the new thread's clone event:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/siginfo-threads.exp: get pid
continue
Continuing.
Stopping GDB PID 21541.
Waiting till the threads initialize their TIDs.
FAIL: gdb.threads/siginfo-threads.exp: catch signal 0 (timeout)
On Linux (at least), new threads start stopped, and the debugger must
resume them. The fix is to make the test program wait for the new
threads to be running before stopping GDB.

Two modifications:
1. The addition of 2013 to the copyright year range for every file;
2. The use of a single year range, instead of potentially multiple
year ranges, as approved by the FSF.

* gdbthread.h (ALL_THREADS): New macro.
(thread_list): Declare.
* infrun.c (handle_inferior_event) <spurious signal>: Don't keep
going, but instead fall through to the stepping handling.
* linux-nat.c (resume_lwp): New parameter 'signo'. Resume with
the passed in signal. Adjust debug output.
(resume_callback): Rename to ...
(linux_nat_resume_callback): ... this. Pass the thread's last
stop signal, if in "pass" state.
(linux_nat_resume): Adjust to rename.
(stop_wait_callback): New assertion. Don't respawn signals;
instead let the LWP remain with SIGNALLED set.
(linux_nat_wait_1): Remove flushing of pending SIGSTOPs.
* remote.c (append_pending_thread_resumptions): New.
(remote_vcont_resume): Call it.
