gdb/testsuite: turn thread events off in selftests
When running gdb.gdb/selftest.exp on Cygwin, the test eventually times
out on this command:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.gdb/selftest.exp: printed version as pointer
continue
Continuing.

FAIL: gdb.gdb/selftest.exp: xgdb is at prompt (timeout)
The problem is the new thread notification, and the fact that the test
expects the prompt to be the last thing in the buffer. To avoid the
thread events interfering with the test, disable them, they are not
useful here.
With this patch, gdb.gdb/selftest.exp mostly runs fine on Cygwin, the
only remaining problem appears to be:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.gdb/selftest.exp: send ^C to child process
signal SIGINT
Continuing with signal SIGINT.
PASS: gdb.gdb/selftest.exp: send SIGINT signal to child process, top GDB message
FAIL: gdb.gdb/selftest.exp: send SIGINT signal to child process, bottom GDB message (timeout)
