[binutils-gdb] Add test case for a known hang in infrun


https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=d27d16bfdc3f275b379793214db9bd9467b6f0f8

commit d27d16bfdc3f275b379793214db9bd9467b6f0f8
Author: Richard Bunt <richard.bunt@arm.com>
Date:   Thu Apr 19 23:02:35 2018 -0400

    Add test case for a known hang in infrun
    
    The hang occurs when GDB tries to call inferior functions on two
    different threads with scheduler-locking turned on. The first call works
    fine, with the call to infrun_async(1) causing the signal_handler to be
    marked and the event to be handled, but then the event loop resets the
    "ready" member to zero, while leaving infrun_is_async set to 1. As a
    result, GDB hangs if the user switches to another thread and calls a
    second function because calling infrun_async(1) a second time has no
    effect, meaning the inferior call events are never handled.
    
    The added test case provokes the above issue.
