Revert "do_target_wait_1: Clear TARGET_WNOHANG if the target isn't as…

Commit 14b3360 ("do_target_wait_1: Clear
TARGET_WNOHANG if the target isn't async.") broke some multi-target
tests, such as gdb.multi/multi-target-info-inferiors.exp.  The symptom
is that execution just hangs at some point.  What happens is:

1. One remote inferior is started, and now sits stopped at a breakpoint.
   It is not "async" at this point (but it "can async").

2. We run a native inferior, the event loop gets woken up by the native
   target's fd.

3. In do_target_wait, we randomly choose an inferior to call target_wait
   on first, it happens to be the remote inferior.

4. Because the target is currently not "async", we clear
   TARGET_WNOHANG, resulting in synchronous wait.  We therefore block
   here:

Before the aforementioned commit, we would not have cleared
TARGET_WNOHANG, the remote target's wait would have returned nothing,
and we would have consumed the native target's event.

After applying this revert, the testsuite state looks as good as before
for me on Ubuntu 20.04 amd64.
