add non-stop test that stresses thread starvation issues

This commit adds a non-stop mode test originally inspired by
signal-while-stepping-over-bp-other-thread.exp, that exposes the
thread starvation issues fixed by the previous patches.  It sets a set
of threads stepping in parallel, and has one of them get a signal.
Without the previous fixes, this would fail with timeouts.
