PR python/17372 - Python hangs when displaying help()

This is more of a readline/terminal issue than a Python one.

PR17372 is a regression in 7.8 caused by the fix for PR17072:

    Background execution + pagination aborts readline/gdb

    gdb_readline_wrapper_line removes the handler after a line is
    processed.  Usually, we'll end up re-displaying the prompt, and that
    reinstalls the handler.  But if the output is coming out of handling
    a stop event, we don't re-display the prompt, and nothing restores the
    handler.  So the next input wakes up the event loop and calls into
    readline, which aborts.

        PR gdb/17072
        * top.c (gdb_readline_wrapper_line): Tweak comment.
        (gdb_readline_wrapper_cleanup): If readline is enabled, reinstall
        the input handler callback.

The problem is that installing the input handler callback also preps
the terminal, putting it in raw mode and with echo disabled, which is
bad if we're going to call a command that assumes cooked/canonical
mode, and echo enabled, like in the case of the PR, Python's
interactive shell.  Another example I came up with that doesn't depend
on Python is starting a subshell with "(gdb) shell /bin/sh" from a
multi-line command.  Tests covering both these examples are added.

The fix is to revert the original fix for PR gdb/17072, and instead
restore the callback handler after processing an asynchronous target
event.

Furthermore, calling rl_callback_handler_install when we already have
some input in readline's line buffer discards that input, which is
obviously a bad thing to do while the user is typing.  No specific
test is added for that, because I first tried calling it even if the
callback handler was still installed and that resulted in hundreds of
failures in the testsuite.

PR 17408 - assertion failure in switch_back_to_stepped_thread

This PR shows that GDB can easily trigger an assertion here, in
infrun.c:

 5392              /* Did we find the stepping thread?  */
 5393              if (tp->control.step_range_end)
 5394                {
 5395                  /* Yep.  There should only one though.  */
 5396                  gdb_assert (stepping_thread == NULL);
 5397
 5398                  /* The event thread is handled at the top, before we
 5399                     enter this loop.  */
 5400                  gdb_assert (tp != ecs->event_thread);
 5401
 5402                  /* If some thread other than the event thread is
 5403                     stepping, then scheduler locking can't be in effect,
 5404                     otherwise we wouldn't have resumed the current event
 5405                     thread in the first place.  */
 5406                  gdb_assert (!schedlock_applies (currently_stepping (tp)));
 5407
 5408                  stepping_thread = tp;
 5409                }

Like:

 gdb/infrun.c:5406: internal-error: switch_back_to_stepped_thread: Assertion `!schedlock_applies (1)' failed.

The way the assertion is written is assuming that with schedlock=step
we'll always leave threads other than the one with the stepping range
locked, while that's not true with the "next" command.  With schedlock
"step", other threads still run unlocked when "next" detects a
function call and steps over it.  Whether that makes sense or not,
still, it's documented that way in the manual.  If another thread hits
an event that doesn't cause a stop while the nexting thread steps over
a function call, we'll get here and fail the assertion.

The fix is just to adjust the assertion.  Even though we found the
stepping thread, we'll still step-over the breakpoint that just
triggered correctly.

Surprisingly, gdb.threads/schedlock.exp doesn't have any test that
steps over a function call.  This commits fixes that.  This ensures
that "next" doesn't switch focus to another thread, and checks whether
other threads run locked or not, depending on scheduler locking mode
and command.  There's a lot of duplication in that file that this ends
cleaning up.  There's more that could be cleaned up, but that would
end up an unrelated change, best done separately.

This new coverage in schedlock.exp happens to trigger the internal
error in question, like so:

 FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: next to increment (1) (GDB internal error)
 FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: next to increment (3) (GDB internal error)
 FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: next to increment (5) (GDB internal error)
 FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: next to increment (7) (GDB internal error)
 FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: next to increment (9) (GDB internal error)
 FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: next does not change thread (switched to thread 0)
 FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: current thread advanced - unlocked (wrong amount)

That's because we have more than one thread running the same loop, and
while one thread is stepping over a function call, the other thread
hits the step-resume breakpoint of the first, which needs to be
stepped over, and we end up in switch_back_to_stepped_thread exactly
in the problem case.

I think a simpler and more directed test is also useful, to not rely
on internal breakpoint magics.  So this commit also adds a test that
has a thread trip on a conditional breakpoint that doesn't cause a
user-visible stop while another thread is stepping over a call.  That
currently fails like this:

 FAIL: gdb.threads/next-bp-other-thread.exp: schedlock=step: next over function call (GDB internal error)

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.
