When GDB is run with IO redirected to a pipe, the 'interrupt' command
causes it to kill its own process group instead of the inferior's.
The problem manifests itself in async mode, native debugging:
$ cat | gdb <file>
(gdb) set target-async on
(gdb) run &
(gdb) interrupt
A debugging session is active.
Inferior 1 [process 20584] will be killed.
Quit anyway? (y or n) [answered Y; input not from terminal]
In this case, GDB tells that its stdin isn't a tty and doesn't save
the inferior's process group in
inflow.c:terminal_init_inferior_with_pgrp. The 'interrupt' command
tries to 'kill' the inferior's process group in
`inf-ptrace.c:inf_ptrace_stop`, but since that wasn't saved in the
first place, GDB kills process group 0, meaning, its own process
group.
When GDB is used from a frontend, that means killing its own process
group including the frontend and possibly the X session. This was
originally seen with SublimeGDB:
https://github.com/quarnster/SublimeGDB/issues/29.
The patch makes GDB save the inferior pgid regardless of having a
terminal, as pgid is used not only to reset foreground process group,
but also to interrupt the inferior process. It also adds a regression
test. Luckily, we can emulate not having a terminal with "set
interactive-mode off", avoiding the need of special magic to spawn gdb
with a pipe.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17.

This patch fixes the target double-close problem (PR remote/15266),
and in the process removes pop_target entire (PR remote/15256).
The first issue is that pop_target calls target_close. However, it
then calls unpush_target, which also calls target_close. This means
targets must be able to be closed twice. Not only is this strange,
but it also directly contradicts the contract of to_xclose targets.
(We currently have just a single such target, and it is never pushed;
but I plan to add more, and so this latent bug is triggered.)
The second issue is that it seems to me that calling pop_target is
often unsafe. This is what cropped up in 15256, where the remote
target assumed that it could pop_target -- but there was another
target higher on the stack, leading to confusion.
But, it is always just as easy to call unpush_target as it is to call
pop_target; and it is also safer. So, removing pop_target seemed like
an improvement.
Finally, this adds an assertion to target_close to ensure that no
currently-pushed target can be closed.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 18; both natively and using the
native-gdbserver board file.

Right now, "help target" will include this line:
target multi-thread -- Threads and pthreads support
However, it doesn't make sense to invoke "target multi-thread".
This patch fixes the problem by not registering the multi-thread
target. add_target does some needed initialization of the target_ops,
so I broke this out into a new function.
It isn't clear to me whether this patch requires a test case or not.
I'm not sure whether there are other unregistered targets; but if
there are, it seems unlikely that we test for their absence from the
help.

gdb-7.6.50-DATE-cvs.tar instead of gdb-7.6.50-20130710-cvs.tar).
