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.
