Fix 8.2 regression in gdb.python/py-evthreads.exp w/ gdbserver (PR gd…

…b/23379)

This commit fixes a 8.1->8.2 regression exposed by
gdb.python/py-evthreads.exp when testing with
--target_board=native-gdbserver.

gdb.log shows:

  src/gdb/thread.c:93: internal-error: thread_info* inferior_thread(): Assertion `tp' failed.
  A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
  further debugging may prove unreliable.
  Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.python/py-evthreads.exp: run to breakpoint 1 (GDB internal error)

A backtrace shows (frames #2 and #10 highlighted) that the assertion
fails when GDB is setting up the connection to the remote target, in
non-stop mode:

So on frame #10, we're marking a newly-discovered thread as running,
and that causes the Python API to emit a gdb.ContinueEvent.
gdb.ContinueEvent is a gdb.ThreadEvent, and as such includes the event
thread as the "inferior_thread" attribute.  The problem is that when
we get to frame #3/#4, we lost all references to the thread that is
being marked as running.  create_continue_event_object assumes that it
is the current thread, which is not true in this case.

Fix this by passing down the right thread in
create_continue_event_object.  Also remove
create_thread_event_object's default argument and have the only other
caller left pass down the right thread explicitly too.
