[RFA] Process record and replay, 4/10


The process record and replay target has six function pointers
record_beneath_to_resume, record_beneath_to_wait,
record_beneath_to_prepare_to_store, record_beneath_to_xfer_partial,
record_beneath_to_insert_breakpoint and
record_beneath_to_remove_breakpoint.
This patch add code to function "update_current_target" make these
pointers always point to the function of lower strata target than
process record and replay target.

When GDB in record mode, we need to call the really debug function in
low strata target because process record and replay target need call
this function to control the inferior.

Struct target_ops already has a pointer "beneath" point to low strata
target, but process record and replay target doesn't use it.  Because
if low strata target doesn't set some function pointers, process
record and replay target will need to call the function pointers of
the target that is low strata target of this target.  If this target
doesn't set them too, it will need to call anothers.  So use "beneath"
is not a good choice and "multi-thread" target that need function
pointers of low strata target doesn't use "beneath" too.

	* target.c (update_current_target): Set function points
	record_beneath_to_resume,
	record_beneath_to_wait,
	record_beneath_to_prepare_to_store,
	record_beneath_to_xfer_partial,
	record_beneath_to_insert_breakpoint
	and record_beneath_to_remove_breakpoint point to the function
	of target that lower than process record and replay target.
