Crash on thread id wrap around
On GNU/Linux, if the target reuses the TID of a thread that GDB still
has in its list marked as THREAD_EXITED, GDB crashes, like:

 (gdb) continue
 Continuing.
 src/gdb/thread.c:789: internal-error: set_running: Assertion `tp->state != THREAD_EXITED' failed.
 A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
 further debugging may prove unreliable.
 Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.threads/tid-reuse.exp: continue to breakpoint: after_reuse_time (GDB internal error)

I managed to come up with a test that reliably reproduces this.  It
spawns enough threads for the pid number space to wrap around, so
could potentially take a while.  On my box that's 4 seconds; on
gcc110, a PPC box which has max_pid set to 65536, it's over 10
seconds.  So I made the test compute how long that would take, and cap
the time waited if it would be unreasonably long.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.
