GDBserver crashes when killing a multi-thread process

The problem is that linux_wait_for_event deletes lwps that have exited
(even those not passed in as lwps of interest), while the lwp/thread
list is being walked on with find_inferior. find_inferior can handle
the current iterated inferior being deleted, but not others.
When killing lwps, we don't really care about any of the pending
status handling of linux_wait_for_event. We can just waitpid the lwps
directly, which is also what GDB does (see
linux-nat.c:kill_wait_callback). This way the lwps are not deleted
while we're walking the list. They'll be deleted by linux_mourn
afterwards.
This crash triggers several times when running the testsuite against
GDBserver with the native-gdbserver board (target remote), but as GDB
can't distinguish between GDBserver crashing and "kill" being
sucessful, as in both cases the connection is closed (the 'k' packet
doesn't require a reply), and the inferior is gone, that results in no
FAIL.
The patch adds a generic test that catches the issue with
extended-remote mode (and works fine with native testing too). Here's
how it fails with the native-extended-gdbserver board without the fix:
