  Several places want to switch context to an inferior and its pspace,
while at the same time switch to "no thread selected".  This commit
adds a function that does that, and uses it in a few places.  The
function is made extern because many more uses will be added in follow
up commits.

gdb/ChangeLog:
yyyy-mm-dd  Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>

	* inferior.c (switch_to_inferior_no_thread): New function,
	factored out from ...
	(inferior_command): ... here.
	* inferior.h (switch_to_inferior_no_thread): Declare.

mi-main.c:run_one_inferior could also be converted.

This isn't directly related to this patch, but I wonder why
set_current_inferior doesn't set the current program space as well.  It
seems possibly dangerous to have these globals that can get out of sync.

Indeed, I did that.

Thanks,
