Commit 408f66864a1a823591b26420410c982174c239a2 ("detach in all-stop
with threads running") regressed "detach" with "target remote":

 (gdb) detach
 Detaching from program: target:/any/program, process 3671843
 Detaching from process 3671843
 Ending remote debugging.
 [Inferior 1 (process 3671843) detached]
 In main
 terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_error'
 Aborted (core dumped)

Here's the exception above being thrown:

So frame #28 already detached the remote process, and then we're
purging the shared libraries.  GDB had opened remote shared libraries
via the target: sysroot, so it tries closing them.  GDBserver is
tearing down already, so remote communication breaks down and we close
the remote target and throw TARGET_CLOSE_ERROR.

Note frame #14:

 #14 0x0000555555ae4730 in objfile::~objfile (this=0x555556515540, __in_chrg=<optimized out>) at src/gdb/objfiles.c:573

That's a dtor, thus noexcept.  That's the reason for the
std::terminate.

Stepping back a bit, why do we still have open remote files if we've
managed to detach already, and, we're debugging with "target remote"?
The reason is that commit 408f66864a1a823591b26420410c982174c239a2
makes detach_command hold a reference to the target, so the remote
target won't be finally closed until frame #28 returns.  It's closing
the target that invalidates target file I/O handles.

This commit fixes the issue by not relying on target_close to
invalidate the target file I/O handles, instead invalidate them
immediately in remote_unpush_target.  So when GDB purges the solibs,
and we end up in target_fileio_close (frame #7 above), there's nothing
to do, and we don't try to talk with the remote target anymore.

The regression isn't seem when testing with
--target_board=native-gdbserver, because that does "set sysroot" to
disable the "target:" sysroot, for test run speed reasons.  So this
commit adds a testcase that explicitly tests detach with "set sysroot
target:".
