remove pop_target
This patch fixes the target double-close problem (PR remote/15266), and in the process removes pop_target entire (PR remote/15256). The first issue is that pop_target calls target_close. However, it then calls unpush_target, which also calls target_close. This means targets must be able to be closed twice. Not only is this strange, but it also directly contradicts the contract of to_xclose targets. (We currently have just a single such target, and it is never pushed; but I plan to add more, and so this latent bug is triggered.) The second issue is that it seems to me that calling pop_target is often unsafe. This is what cropped up in 15256, where the remote target assumed that it could pop_target -- but there was another target higher on the stack, leading to confusion. But, it is always just as easy to call unpush_target as it is to call pop_target; and it is also safer. So, removing pop_target seemed like an improvement. Finally, this adds an assertion to target_close to ensure that no currently-pushed target can be closed. Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 18; both natively and using the native-gdbserver board file.
