DEC threads: Simplify updating the thread list
Seems to me that we can simplify DEC thread's
target_update_thread_list implementation, avoiding the need to build
the array of GDB threads.
I have no way to test this, but then again support for Tru64 is about
to be removed.
Pushing anyway to have the last version in git be the cleanest one
should start from, if this file turns out to be resurrected in the
future.

remote: get rid of all the T packets when syncing the thread list
This commit avoids the prune_threads call in the remote target's
target_update_thread_list's implementation, eliminating all the "thread
alive" RSP traffic (one packet per thread) whenever we fetch the
thread list.
IOW, this:
Sending packet: $Tp2141.2150#82...Packet received: OK
Sending packet: $Tp2141.214f#b7...Packet received: OK
Sending packet: $Tp2141.2141#82...Packet received: OK
... more T packets; it's one per previously known live thread ...
Sending packet: $qXfer:threads:read::0,fff#03...Packet received: l<threads>\n<thread id="p2141.2141" core="2"/>\n<thread id="p2141.214f" core="1"/>\n<thread id="p2141.2150" core="2"/>\n</threads>\n
Becomes:
Sending packet: $qXfer:threads:read::0,fff#03...Packet received: l<threads>\n<thread id="p2141.2141" core="2"/>\n<thread id="p2141.214f" core="1"/>\n<thread id="p2141.2150" core="2"/>\n</threads>\n
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native gdbserver:
- tests the qXfer:threads:read method.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native gdbserver with qXfer:threads:read
force-disabled in gdbserver:
- So that GDB falls back to the qfThreadInfo/qsThreadInfo method.
And also manually smoked tested force disabling both
qXfer:threads:read and qfThreadInfo/qsThreadInfo in gdbserver.

* gdbthread.h (ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS_SAFE): New macro.
* remote.c (remote_update_thread_list): Skip calling prune_threads
if any thread listing method is supported, and instead walk over
the set of remote threads listed, deleting those that are not
found in GDB's thread list.

Push pruning old threads down to the target
When GDB wants to sync the thread list with the target's (e.g., due to
"info threads"), it calls update_thread_list:
update_thread_list (void)
{
prune_threads ();
target_find_new_threads ();
update_threads_executing ();
}
And then prune_threads does:
prune_threads (void)
{
struct thread_info *tp, *next;
for (tp = thread_list; tp; tp = next)
{
next = tp->next;
if (!thread_alive (tp))
delete_thread (tp->ptid);
}
}
Calling thread_live on each thread one by one is expensive.
E.g., on Linux, it ends up doing kill(SIG0) once for each thread. Not
a big deal, but still a bunch of syscalls...
With the remote target, it's cumbersome. That thread_alive call ends
up generating one T packet per thread:
Sending packet: $Tp2141.2150#82...Packet received: OK
Sending packet: $Tp2141.214f#b7...Packet received: OK
Sending packet: $Tp2141.2141#82...Packet received: OK
Sending packet: $qXfer:threads:read::0,fff#03...Packet received: l<threads>\n<thread id="p2141.2141" core="2"/>\n<thread id="p2141.214f" core="1"/>\n<thread id="p2141.2150" core="2"/>\n</threads>\n
That seems a bit silly when target_find_new_threads method
implementations will always fetch the whole current set of target
threads, and then add those that are not in GDB's thread list, to
GDB's thread list.
This patch thus pushes down the responsibility of pruning dead threads
to the target_find_new_threads method instead, so a target may
implement pruning dead threads however it wants.
Once we do that, target_find_new_threads becomes a misnomer, so the
patch renames it to target_update_thread_list.
The patch doesn't attempt to do any optimization to any target yet.
It simply exports prune_threads, and makes all implementations of
target_update_thread_list call that. It's meant to be a no-op.

Merge remote thread listing methods
We have three methods to list the current remote thread list:
1. The qXfer:threads:read method (the preferred one nowadays), builds a
remote thread list while parsing the XML, and then after the XML
parsing is done, goes over the built list and adds threads GDB doesn't
know about yet to GDB's list.
2. If the qXfer method isn't available, we fallback to using the
qfThreadInfo/qsThreadInfo packets. When we do this, we adds threads
to GDB's list immediately as we parse the qfThreadInfo/qsThreadInfo
packet replies.
3. And then if the previous method isn't available either, we try the
old deprecated qL packet. This path is already looking somewhat
broken for not using remote_notice_new_inferior to add threads to
GDB's list.
This patch makes all variants work in two passes, like the qXfer
method, and then makes all variants share the code path that adds
threads to GDB's list.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20 with native gdbserver.
