[PATCH] Fix PR server/15959

- Subject: [PATCH] Fix PR server/15959
- Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none
When I start gdbserver with option --wrapper, it hangs there. After
some analysis, it is caused by accessing two fields of
'struct thread_resume' which are uninitialized. In server.c:start_inferior,
struct thread_resume resume_info;
resume_info.thread = pid_to_ptid (signal_pid);
resume_info.kind = resume_continue;
resume_info.sig = 0;
fields 'step_range_start' and 'step_range_end' are not initialized, but
they are used in linux-low.c:lwp_in_step_range. This patch is to fix
it by set zero to 'resume_info'.
I find we don't have a test case for option '--wrapper', so I add one.
Even without the fix to server.c, gdb.server/wrapper.exp can pass on
my machine, because the uninitialized contents on stack are
undetermined.
However, fire gdbserver with 'valgrind --track-origins=yes' can report
this problem as:
==13596== Uninitialised value was created by a stack allocation
==13596== at 0x8050D88: start_inferior (server.c:203)
with this patch applied, this message goes away.
