infrun: mark an exited thread non-executing when attempting to stop

In stop_all_threads, GDB sends signals to other threads in an attempt
to stop them.  While in a typical scenario the expected wait status is
TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED, it is possible that the thread GDB attempted
to stop has already terminated.  If so, a waitstatus other than
TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED would be received.  In that case, mark the
thread as not-executing and set its state to THREAD_EXITED.

If a wait status that denotes thread termination is ignored, GDB goes
into an infinite loop in stop_all_threads.
E.g.:

~~~
$ gdb ./a.out
(gdb) start
...
(gdb) add-inferior -exec ./a.out
...
(gdb) inferior 2
...
(gdb) start
...
(gdb) set schedule-multiple on
(gdb) set debug infrun 2
(gdb) continue
Continuing.

And this polling goes on forever.  This patch prevents the infinite
looping behavior.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2019-10-18  Tankut Baris Aktemur  <tankut.baris.aktemur@intel.com>

	* infrun.c (stop_all_threads): Do NOT ignore
	TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED, TARGET_WAITKIND_THREAD_EXITED,
	TARGET_WAITKIND_EXITED, TARGET_WAITKIND_SIGNALLED wait statuses
	received from threads we attempt to stop; mark the corresponding
	thread as THREAD_EXITED and not-executing.
