Don't close thread handles provided by WaitForDebugEvent 

I sometimes encountered a weird breakpoint failure when using start:

(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 2 at 0x40162d: file gdb-25911.c, line 4.
Starting program: C:\src\tests\gdb-25911.exe
Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint 2.
Cannot access memory at address 0x401628

After trying a lot of combinations, I found a way to reproduce it:

(gdb) file gdb-25987.exe
Reading symbols from gdb-25987.exe...
(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x401638: file gdb-25987.cpp, line 13.
Starting program: C:\src\tests\gdb-25987.exe

Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at gdb-25987.cpp:13
13      int main() {
(gdb) c
Continuing.

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Starting program: C:\src\tests\gdb-25911.exe

Command aborted.

The actual failure was that ReadProcessMemory used a process handle that
was no longer valid.
And the underlying reason was that the windows_thread_info destructor
closes a thread handle that was provided earlier by WaitForDebugEvent.

But since this is not allowed (and it was actually already closed at this
point, and the handle value reused), this closed another still-needed handle.
