With gdb build with gcc-12 and -fsanitize=thread, and test-case
gdb.base/gdb-sigterm.exp, I run into:
...

(XNEW (async_signal_handler) in create_async_signal_handler)
This was reported in PR29297.
The testcase executes a "kill -TERM $gdb_pid", which generates a
process-directed signal.
A process-directed signal can be delivered to any thread, and what we see
here is the fallout of the signal being delivered to a worker thread rather
than the main thread.
Fix this by blocking SIGTERM in the worker threads.
[ I have not been able to reproduce this after it occurred for the first time,
so unfortunately I cannot confirm that the patch fixes the problem. ]
Tested on x86_64-linux, with and without -fsanitize=thread.
