The simulator is being a bit schizophrenic.  It is not running, yet it
is.  This happens because inferior_ptid is set to null_ptid after kill
or before execution, and the sim target is left on the stack, but
to_has_execution is always set for "target sim".

As it happens I have patches for a similar issue with target
extended-remote.  The remote patches are substantial, but I can
probably break out the simulator related bits.  I'll try to do that.

They change target_has_execution from "is capable of running" to
"is running right now".
