I don't think I was :-) There were three different exit points.
sync, async/sync_execution, and true async. I've reverted the
bits that immediatelly proceed after attaching, and defered it
to the continuation (for the attach& support). I'll look
into short-circuiting that again when non-stop is in. The
attach& mode is still supported, but we wait for everything to
be stopped and stable before deciding to proceed or normal_stop.
This is look alright?
Tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu with the linux async
support (new patch follows) enabled and disabled.

(P.S. Am I the only one that thinks that continuation
arguments suck? IMHO, we should move the continuation_arg data
union into the continuation proper, and force people to use
structs for the compound args. Oh, and who is responsible for
freeing the continuation args? Nobody seems to be doing that.)

* infcmd.c (attach_command_post_wait, attach_command_continuation): New.
(attach_command): Support background async execution, and async
execution in synchronous mode.
