[RFA/hpux] acknowledging TTEVT_LWP_EXIT


In inf-ttrace, when a TTEVT_LWP_EXIT event is received (thread
exiting), the corresponding thread is removed from the thread list
and never resumed. Which is wrong ; the ttrace man page reads:

TTEVT_LWP_EXIT    This event flag indicates that the debugger wants to
                  be notified when a thread is exiting via the
                  lwp_exit() system call. The thread stops upon entry
                  to the system call.

So the dying thread is stopped, it should be resumed one last time.
Otherwise, any other thread waiting for its death on pthread_join
would be blocked forever (e.g. in attachment, a simple program which
freezes when it is run under GDB).

Also in attachement, a patch that fixes this issue. It also fixes 3
unexpected failures of the testsuite on HPUX 11.11.

	* inf-ttrace.c (inf_ttrace_private_thread_info): New structure type.
        (inf_ttrace_delete_dying_threads_callback): New function.
        (inf_ttrace_resume): After resuming the execution, iterate over
        the dying threads to delete them for the thread list.
        (inf_ttrace_wait): on TTEVT_LWP_EXIT and TTEVT_LWP_TERMINATE,
        mark the corresponding thread as dying instead of removing it
        from the thread list.
        (inf_ttrace_thread_alive): return 0 for dying threads.
