Doing it "asynchronously" through the GDB event loop, which is I
believe the same way we handle remote async targets.  All in one
process.

This is a little more complicated to design, however, it's got less
complexity at runtime.  I've spent enough of my life using GDB on
systems where pthreads didn't work that I don't want to make GDB
dependent on them.
