      gdb: parse pending breakpoint thread/task immediately

Introduce a use bug where the value of a temporary variable was being
used after it had gone out of scope.  This was picked up by the
address sanitizer and would result in this error:

  (gdb) maintenance selftest create_breakpoint_parse_arg_string
  Running selftest create_breakpoint_parse_arg_string.

The problem was caused by three lines like this one:

  thread_info *thr
    = parse_thread_id (std::string (t.get_value ()).c_str (), &tmptok);

After parsing the thread-id TMPTOK would be left pointing into the
temporary string which had been created on this line.  When on the
next line we did this:

  gdb_assert (*tmptok == '\0');

The value of *TMPTOK is undefined.

Fix this by creating the std::string earlier in the scope.  Now the
contents of the string will remain valid when we check *TMPTOK.  The
address sanitizer issue is now resolved.
