Avoid constant stream of TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED

If we hit the synchronous execution command case described by
handle_no_resumed, and handle_no_resumed determines that the event
should be ignored, because it found a thread that is executing, we end
up in prepare_to_wait.

There, if the current target is not registered in the event loop right
now, we call mark_infrun_async_event_handler.  With that event handler
marked, the event loop calls again into fetch_inferior_event, which
calls target_wait, which returns TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED, and we
end up in handle_no_resumed, again ignoring the event and marking
infrun_async_event_handler.  The result is that GDB is now always
keeping the CPU 100% busy in this loop, even though it continues to be
able to react to input and to real target events, because we still go
through the event-loop.

The problem is that marking of the infrun_async_event_handler in
prepare_to_wait.  That is there to handle targets that don't support
asynchronous execution.  So the correct predicate is whether async
execution is supported, not whether the target is async right now.
