[PATCH 1/2] gdb: make target_close check that target isn't pushed in all inferiors

The target_close function currently checks that the target to be closed
isn't pushed in the current inferior:

    gdb_assert (!current_inferior ()->target_is_pushed (targ));

When a target is closed, it's normally because its refcount has dropped
to 0, because it's not used in any inferior anymore.  I think it would
make sense to change that assert to not only check in the current
inferior, but to check in all inferiors.  It would be quite bad (and a
bug) to close a target while it's still pushed in one of the non-current
inferiors.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* target.c (target_close): Check in all inferiors that the
	target is not pushed.
