Fix solib-disc.exp regression with x86 gdbserver


The testsuite shows a couple of new regression with x86 gdbserver:

 -PASS: gdb.base/solib-disc.exp: check $pc after load
 +FAIL: gdb.base/solib-disc.exp: check $pc after load
 -PASS: gdb.base/solib-disc.exp: check $pc after unload
 +FAIL: gdb.base/solib-disc.exp: check $pc after unload

The test stops at a breakpoint, saves the PC,
disconnects, reconnects, and expects to find the
same PC.  But, it doesn't currently:

 ...
 print/x $pc
 $1 = 0x2b5a65534fc0
      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/solib-disc.exp: save $pc after load
 disconnect
 Ending remote debugging.
 (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/solib-disc.exp: disconnect after load
 readchar: Got EOF
 Remote side has terminated connection.  GDBserver will reopen the connection.
 Listening on port 2463
 Remote debugging from host 127.0.0.1
 target remote localhost:2463

 ...

 print/x $pc
 $2 = 0x2b5a65534fc1
      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/solib-disc.exp: check $pc after load

Note the off-by-one.  This is the decr_pc_after_break getting
lost between disconnect/reconnect.

gdbserver's regcache is not write-through, registers are only
flushed to the threads just before resuming them.  The problem
is that there's new code that recreates all thread's regcaches
without flushing them to the threads before the recreation.

 ...

This is losing any register changes done before "disconnect" in
the previous session.

The patch below fixes it, and I've applied it.

(H.J., in case you don't know yet, here's how one easily
tests against gdbserver on localhost:
