Always switch fork child to the main UI 

The following scenario:

 - gdb started in normal CLI mode.

 - separate MI channel created with new-ui

 - inferior output redirected with the "set inferior-tty" command.

 - use -exec-run in the MI channel to run the inferior

is presently mishandled.

When we create the inferior, in fork-child.c, right after vfork, we'll
close all the file descriptors in the vfork child, and then dup the
tty to file descriptors 0/1/2, create a session, etc.  Note that when
we close all descriptors, we close the file descriptors behind
gdb_stdin/gdb_stdout/gdb_stderr of all secondary UIs...  So if
anything goes wrong in the child and it calls warning/error, it'll end
up writting to the current UI's stdout/stderr streams, which are
backed by file descriptors that have since been closed.  Because this
happens in a vfork region, the corresponding stdin/stdout/stderr in
the parent/gdb end up corrupted.

The fix is to switch to the main UI right after the vfork, so that
gdb_stdin/gdb_stdout/gdb_stderr are correctly mapped to
stdin/stdout/stderr (and thus to file descriptors 0/1/2), so this code
works as it has always worked.

(Technically, we're doing a lot of stuff we shouldn't be doing after a
vfork, while we should only be calling async-signal-safe functions.)

gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-06-21  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* fork-child.c (fork_inferior): Switch the child to the main UI
	right after vfork.  Save/restore the current UI in the parent.
	Flush outputs of the main UI instead of the current UI.
