[PATCH v2 43/47] Windows gdb: extra thread info => show exiting

Now that we have easy access to each thread's last event, we can
easily include some extra info in "info threads" output related to
each thread's last event.

This patch makes us show whether the thread is exiting, or causing a
whole-process exit. This is useful when multiple threads hit events
at the same time, and the thread/process exit events are still pending
until the user re-resumes the program.

This is similar to how linux-thread-db.c also shows "Exiting" in its
target_extra_thread_info implementation.

This will be relied on by the testcase added by the following patch.
