Add the ability for GDB to printout the thread name along with other
thread specific informations. In order to do that, and in order to avoid KBI breakage with existing infrastructure the following semantic is implemented: - For live programs, a new member to the PT_LWPINFO is added (pl_tdname) - For cores, a new ELF note is added (NT_THRMISC) that can be used for storing thread specific, miscellaneous, informations. Right now it is just popluated with a thread name. GDB, then, retrieves the correct informations from the corefile via the BFD interface, as it groks the ELF notes and create appropriate pseudo-sections.
