Per-inferior/Inferior-qualified thread IDs

This commit changes GDB to track thread numbers per-inferior.  Then,
if you're debugging multiple inferiors, GDB displays
"inferior-num.thread-num" instead of just "thread-num" whenever it
needs to display a thread:

 (gdb) info inferiors
   Num  Description       Executable
   1    process 6022     /home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads
 * 2    process 6037     /home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads
 (gdb) info threads
   Id   Target Id         Frame
   1.1  Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 6022) "threads" (running)
   1.2  Thread 0x7ffff77c0700 (LWP 6028) "threads" (running)
   1.3  Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 6032) "threads" (running)
   2.1  Thread 0x7ffff7fc1700 (LWP 6037) "threads" (running)
   2.2  Thread 0x7ffff77c0700 (LWP 6038) "threads" (running)
 * 2.3  Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 6039) "threads" (running)
 (gdb)
...
 (gdb) thread 1.1
 [Switching to thread 1.1 (Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 8155))]
 (gdb)
...

etc.

You can still use "thread NUM", in which case GDB infers you're
referring to thread NUM of the current inferior.

The $_thread convenience var and Python's InferiorThread.num attribute
are remapped to the new per-inferior thread number.  It's a backward
compatibility break, but since it only matters when debugging multiple
inferiors, I think it's worth doing.

Because MI thread IDs need to be a single integer, we keep giving
threads a global identifier, _in addition_ to the per-inferior number,
and make MI always refer to the global thread IDs.  IOW, nothing
changes from a MI frontend's perspective.

Similarly, since Python's Breakpoint.thread and Guile's
breakpoint-thread/set-breakpoint-thread breakpoint methods need to
work with integers, those are adjusted to work with global thread IDs
too.  Follow up patches will provide convenient means to access
threads' global IDs.

To avoid potencially confusing users (which also avoids updating much
of the testsuite), if there's only one inferior and its ID is "1",
IOW, the user hasn't done anything multi-process/inferior related,
then the "INF." part of thread IDs is not shown.  E.g,.:

 (gdb) info inferiors
   Num  Description       Executable
 * 1    process 15275     /home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads
 (gdb) info threads
   Id   Target Id         Frame
 * 1    Thread 0x7ffff7fc1740 (LWP 15275) "threads" main () at threads.c:40
 (gdb) add-inferior
 Added inferior 2
 (gdb) info threads
   Id   Target Id         Frame
 * 1.1  Thread 0x7ffff7fc1740 (LWP 15275) "threads" main () at threads.c:40
 (gdb)

No regressions on x86_64 Fedora 20.
