PR threads/18600: Inferiors left around after fork+thread spawn

Browse source 
The new gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp test exposes one more
problem.  When one types "info inferiors" after running the program,
one see's a couple inferior left still, while there should only be
inferior #1 left.  E.g.:

 (gdb) info inferiors
   Num  Description       Executable
   4    process 8393      /home/pedro/bugs/src/test
   2    process 8388      /home/pedro/bugs/src/test
 * 1    <null>            /home/pedro/bugs/src/test
 (gdb) info threads

Calling prune_inferiors() manually at this point (from a top gdb) does
not remove them, because they still have inf->pid != 0 (while they
shouldn't).  This suggests that we never mourned those inferiors.

Enabling logs (master + previous patch) we see:

Note the "Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 9508) exited." line.
That's this in wait_lwp:

      /* Check if the thread has exited.  */
      if (WIFEXITED (status) || WIFSIGNALED (status))
	{
	  thread_dead = 1;
	  if (debug_linux_nat)
	    fprintf_unfiltered (gdb_stdlog, "WL: %s exited.\n",
				target_pid_to_str (lp->ptid));
	}
    }

That was the leader thread reporting an exit, meaning the whole
process is gone.  So the problem is that this code doesn't understand
that an WIFEXITED status of the leader LWP should be reported to
infrun as process exit.
