Several places in the testsuite have a copy of a snippet of code that
spawns a test program, waits a bit, and then does some PID munging for
Cygwin. This is in order to have GDB attach to the spawned program.
This refactors all that to a common procedure.
(multi-attach.exp wants to spawn multiple processes, so this makes the
new procedure's interface work with lists.)
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

This finally makes background execution commands possible by default.
However, in order to do that, there's one last thing we need to do --
we need to separate the MI and target notions of "async". Unlike the
CLI, where the user explicitly requests foreground vs background
execution in the execution command itself (c vs c&), MI chose to treat
"set target-async" specially -- setting it changes the default
behavior of execution commands.
So, we can't simply "set target-async" default to on, as that would
affect MI frontends. Instead we have to make the setting MI-specific,
and teach MI about sync commands on top of an async target.
Because the "target" word in "set target-async" ends up as a potential
source of confusion, the patch adds a "set mi-async" option, and makes
"set target-async" a deprecated alias.
Rather than make the targets always async, this patch introduces a new
"maint set target-async" option so that the GDB developer can control
whether the target is async. This makes it simpler to debug issues
arising only in the synchronous mode; important because sync mode
seems unlikely to go away.
Unlike in previous revisions, "set target-async" does not affect this
new maint parameter. The rationale for this is that then one can
easily run the test suite in the "maint set target-async off" mode and
have tests that enable mi-async fail just like they fail on
non-async-capable targets. This emulation is exactly the point of the
maint option.
I had asked Tom in a previous iteration to split the actual change of
the target async default to a separate patch, but it turns out that
that is quite awkward in this version of the patch, because with MI
async and target async decoupled (unlike in previous versions), if we
don't flip the default at the same time, then just "set target-async
on" alone never actually manages to do anything. It's best to not
have that transitory state in the tree.
Given "set target-async on" now only has effect for MI, the patch goes
through the testsuite removing it from non-MI tests. MI tests are
adjusted to use the new and less confusing "mi-async" spelling.

When I run no-thread-db.exp, the breakpoint is set on line 26.
However, the breakpoint is set to line 26 of dl-start.S rather than
no-thread-db.c, which is not intended.
(gdb) monitor set libthread-db-search-path /foo/bar^M
libthread-db-search-path set to `/foo/bar'^M

This patch is to change the breakpoint setting with source file

In extended-remote, when GDB connects the target, but target is not
running, the TSVs are not uploaded. When GDB attaches to a process,
the TSVs are not uploaded either. However, GDBserver has some
builtin or predefined TSV to upload, such as $trace_timestamp. This
bug causes $trace_timestamp is never uploaded.
