When loading a file using the file command on macOS, we get:

    A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
    further debugging may prove unreliable.
    Quit this debugging session? (y or n)

The backtrace is:

The solib_create_inferior_hook call in symbol_file_command was added by
commit ea142fb ("Fix breakpoints on file reloads for PIE
binaries").  It causes solib_create_inferior_hook to be called while
the inferior is not running, which darwin_solib_create_inferior_hook
does not expect.  darwin_solib_get_all_image_info_addr_at_init, in
particular, assumes that there is a current thread, as it tries to get
the current thread's regcache.

Fix it by adding a target_has_execution check and returning early.  Note
that there is a similar check in svr4_solib_create_inferior_hook.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* solib-darwin.c (darwin_solib_create_inferior_hook): Return
	early if no execution.
