[JDK-8306034](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8306034) is adding support for StopThread on a virtual thread as long as it is suspended and mounted. This means, for example, it will work for virtual threads in the following conditions:
>> - Debuggee in a loop and suspended
>> - Debuggee blocked on a java monitor and suspended (because it is mounted when blocked)

>> kill001 suspends all threads when a breakpoint is hit in the main thread, and then does a "jdb kill" on each thread, which translate to `ThreadReference.stop()`. Si this is expected to work now since the additional threads are all blocked on a java monitor, and therefore mounted (and the breakpoint also suspended them).

>> Most of the changes involve undoing the virtual thread specific code that was added to the test as part of [JDK-8282385](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8282385). However, there is an additional issue that also needs fixing. The test relies on the fact that the async exception is normally not caught, and that jdb normally stops when an uncaught exception is thrown. With virtual threads there ends up being an exception handler in `java.lang.VirtualThread.run()`, resulting in jdb not stopping when the async exception is thrown. This is fixed by having the test issue a jdb "catch all <classname>" command for each async exception type that the test throws.
