When trying to step over a breakpoint at the end of the trace, the
step-over will fail with no-history. This does not clear step_over_info
so a subsequent resume will cause GDB to not resume the thread and expect
a SIGTRAP to complete the step-over. This will never come causing GDB to
hang in the wait-for-event poll.
That step-over failed after actually completing the step. This is wrong.
The step-over itself should have failed and the step should not have
completed. Fix it by moving the end of execution history check to before
we are stepping.
This exposes another issue, however. When completing a step-over at the
end of the execution history, we implicitly stop replaying that thread. A
continue command would resume after the step-over and, since we're no
longer replaying, would continue recording.
Fix that by recording the replay state in the thread's control state and
failing with no-history in keep_going if we're switching from replay to
recording.

When trying to step over a breakpoint at the end of the trace while
another thread is replaying, the step-over will fail with no-history.
This does not clear step_over_info so a subsequent resume will cause GDB
to not resume the thread and expect a SIGTRAP to complete the step-over.
This will never come causing GDB to hang in the wait-for-event poll.
This is a variant of the issue fixed in the parent commit. That commit
addressed the issue for a single-threaded process and fixed an issue with
reverse/replay stepping in general.
This commit addresses the issue for a multi-threaded process. In this
case, the single-step does not complete.
Finish an in-flight step-over when a thread stopped with NO_HISTORY.
Since we did not move, we will simply start the step-over again.
Hannes Domani reported that this fixes PR gdb/31353.

When reverse-stepping a thread that has a pending breakpoint event, the
thread is not resumed as part of the infcmd function. A first resume
notices the event and returns without resuming the target.
If the corresponding breakpoint has been deleted, event processing results
in a second resume that performs the intended stepping action. That
resume happens after the infcmd function returned and the temporarily
modified execution direction was restored. We end up resuming in the
wrong direction.
Store the direction in a thread's control state and change most of
infrun to take it from there rather than using the global variable.
