    Fix gdbserver crash exposed by
gdb.threads/process-dies-while-handling-bp.exp

    Running that test in a loop, I found a gdbserver core dump with the
    following back trace:

     Core was generated by `../gdbserver/gdbserver --once --multi :2346'.
     Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

    Clearly this means that a thread pushed a stop reply in the event
    queue, and then before GDB confused the event, the whole process died,
    along with its thread.  But the pending thread event was left
    dangling.  When GDB fetched that event, gdbserver looked up the
    corresponding thread, but found NULL; not expecting this, gdbserver
    crashes when it tries to read this thread's registers.

        PR gdb/18749
        * inferiors.c (remove_thread): Discard any pending stop reply for
        this thread.
        * server.c (remove_all_on_match_pid): Rename to ...
        (remove_all_on_match_ptid): ... this.  Work with a filter ptid
        instead of a pid.
        (discard_queued_stop_replies): Change parameter to a ptid.  Now
        extern.
        (handle_v_kill, kill_inferior_callback)
        (process_serial_event): Adjust.
        (captured_main): Call initialize_notif before starting the
        program, thus before threads are created.
        * server.h (discard_queued_stop_replies): Declare.
