    gdb: maybe unpush target from old inferior in inf_child_target::follow_exec
    
    I realized that with "follow-exec-mode == new", the process target
    stayed pushed in the original inferior.  This can cause a small
    incoherence:
    
        $ ./gdb -q -nx --data-directory=data-directory -ex "set follow-exec-mode new" --args execer args-for-execer
        Reading symbols from execer...
        (gdb) r
        Starting program: /home/smarchi/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/execer args-for-execer
        I am execer and my argv[1] is: args-for-execer
        process 3562426 is executing new program: /home/smarchi/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/execee
        [New inferior 2]
        [New process 3562426]
        I am execee and my argv[1] is: arg-for-execee
        [Inferior 2 (process 3562426) exited normally]
        (gdb) info inferiors
          Num  Description       Connection           Executable
          1    <null>            1 (native)           /home/smarchi/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/execer
        * 2    <null>                                 /home/smarchi/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/execee
        (gdb) maintenance print target-stack
        The current target stack is:
          - exec (Local exec file)
          - None (None)
        (gdb) inferior 1
        [Switching to inferior 1 [<null>] (/home/smarchi/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/execer)]
        (gdb) maintenance print target-stack
        The current target stack is:
          - native (Native process)
          - exec (Local exec file)
          - None (None)
    
    On exec, when execution continues into inferior 2, the native target
    isn't unpushed from inferior 1.  When inferior 2's execution finishes
    normally, inf_child_target::mourn_inferior unpushes the native target,
    because the native target has been implicitly opened.
    
    I think that if the native target was implicitly opened, it should be
    unpushed from inferior 1, just like it is unpushed from an inferior
    whose execution terminate.  This patch implements that.
