Simon Marchi 27f9f64975 gdb: resume ongoing step after handling fork or vfork
The test introduced by this patch would fail in this configuration, with
the native-gdbserver or native-extended-gdbserver boards:

    FAIL: gdb.threads/next-fork-other-thread.exp: fork_func=fork: target-non-stop=auto: non-stop=off: displaced-stepping=auto: i=2: next to for loop

The problem is that the step operation is forgotten when handling the
fork/vfork.  With "debug infrun" and "debug remote", it looks like this
(some lines omitted for brevity).  We do the next:

    [infrun] proceed: enter
      [infrun] proceed: addr=0xffffffffffffffff, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_DEFAULT
      [infrun] resume_1: step=1, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_0, trap_expected=0, current thread [4154304.4154304.0] at 0x5555555553bf
      [infrun] do_target_resume: resume_ptid=4154304.0.0, step=1, sig=GDB_SIGNAL_0
      [remote] Sending packet: $vCont;r5555555553bf,5555555553c4:p3f63c0.3f63c0;c:p3f63c0.-1#cd
    [infrun] proceed: exit

We then handle a fork event:

    [infrun] fetch_inferior_event: enter
      [remote] wait: enter
        [remote] Packet received: T05fork:p3f63ee.3f63ee;06:0100000000000000;07:b08e59f6ff7f0000;10:bf60e8f7ff7f0000;thread:p3f63c0.3f63c6;core:17;
      [remote] wait: exit
      [infrun] print_target_wait_results: target_wait (-1.0.0 [process -1], status) =
      [infrun] print_target_wait_results:   4154304.4154310.0 [Thread 4154304.4154310],
      [infrun] print_target_wait_results:   status->kind = FORKED, child_ptid = 4154350.4154350.0
      [infrun] handle_inferior_event: status->kind = FORKED, child_ptid = 4154350.4154350.0
      [remote] Sending packet: $D;3f63ee#4b
      [infrun] resume_1: step=0, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_0, trap_expected=0, current thread [4154304.4154310.0] at 0x7ffff7e860bf
      [infrun] do_target_resume: resume_ptid=4154304.0.0, step=0, sig=GDB_SIGNAL_0
      [remote] Sending packet: $vCont;c:p3f63c0.-1#73
    [infrun] fetch_inferior_event: exit

In the first snippet, we resume the stepping thread with the range-stepping (r)
vCont command.  But after handling the fork (detaching the fork child), we
resumed the whole process freely.  The stepping thread, which was paused by
GDBserver while reporting the fork event, was therefore resumed freely, instead
of confined to the addresses of the stepped line.  Note that since this
is a "next", it could be that we have entered a function, installed a
step-resume breakpoint, and it's ok to continue freely the stepping
thread, but that's not the case here.  The two snippets shown above were
next to each other in the logs.

For the fork case, we can resume stepping right after handling the
event.

However, for the vfork case, where we are waiting for the
external child process to exec or exit, we only resume the thread that
called vfork, and keep the others stopped (see patch "gdb: fix handling of
vfork by multi-threaded program" prior in this series).  So we can't
resume the stepping thread right now.  Instead, do it after handling the
vfork-done event.
