Fix deadlock due to thread list locking in 'bt all' with obj-c
Summary: The gdb-remote async thread cannot modify thread state while the main thread holds a lock on the state. Don't use locking thread iteration for bt all. Specifically, the deadlock manifests when lldb attempts to JIT code to symbolicate objective c while backtracing. As part of this code path, SetPrivateState() is called on an async thread. This async thread will block waiting for the thread_list lock held by the main thread in CommandObjectIterateOverThreads. The main thread will also block on the async thread during DoResume (although with a timeout), leading to a deadlock. Due to the timeout, the deadlock is not immediately apparent, but the inferior will be left in an invalid state after the bt all completes, and objective-c symbols will not be successfully resolved in the backtrace.
