Make "info threads" use the gdb::option framework

This makes "info threads" use the gdb::option framework to process
options.  There's only one option today (-gid), and it isn't used much
frequently unless you're looking at matching MI output.  Still, this
was in the neighborhood of "thread apply" so I had converted it.

The main advantage is that TAB completion now shows you the available
options, and gives you a hint to what the command accepts as operand
argument, including showing a metasyntactic variable:

  (gdb) info threads [TAB]
  -gid  ID

  (gdb) help info threads
  Display currently known threads.
  Usage: info threads [OPTION]... [ID]...

  Options:
    -gid
      Show global thread IDs.

  If ID is given, it is a space-separated list of IDs of threads to display.
  Otherwise, all threads are displayed.
  (gdb)
