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.
