[PATCH 3/8] Set general_thread after restart

When I run gdb.server/ext-restart.exp, I get the following GDB internal
error,

run^M
The program being debugged has been started already.^M

Resyncing due to internal error.

the test is to restart the program, to make sure GDBserver handles
packet 'R' correctly.  From the GDBserver output, we can see,

 Remote debugging from host 127.0.0.1^M
 Process /scratch/yao/gdb/build-git/x86_64/gdb/testsuite/gdb.server/ext-restart created; pid = 21445^M
 GDBserver restarting^M
 Process /scratch/yao/gdb/build-git/x86_64/gdb/testsuite/gdb.server/ext-restart created; pid = 21446^M
 Killing process(es): 21446

we first start process 21445(0x53c5), kill it and restart a new process
21446.  However, in the gdb output above [1], we can see that the reply
of qC is still the old process id rather than the new one.  Looks
general_thread isn't up to date after GDBserver receives R packet.
This patch is to update general_thread after call start_inferior.
