I went ahead and pushed this all in, with Eli's comments addressed.

"set target-async" is dead, long live "set target-async"!

I think this is a significant milestone, which has been quite long
in the making, with several people on and off pushing for it
little by little. Thanks everyone.

Apologies for the haste, but, the 7.8 branch point date is
approaching, and I'd like to get async-by-default into 7.8,
and I think the sooner this gets into the tree before the
branch, the better.

If something goes badly wrong, we can flip the default back
to target-async off, and make target-async depend on mi-async again
(make -gdb-set target-async flip both globals), which makes most of
the new MI code dead. (Or we can always just revert.)

Thanks,
