Convert previous_inferior_ptid to strong reference to thread_info

I originally wrote this patch, because while working on some other
patch, I spotted a regression in the
gdb.multi/multi-target-no-resumed.exp.exp testcase.  Debugging the
issue, I realized that the problem was related to how I was using
previous_inferior_ptid to look up the thread the user had last
selected.  The problem is that previous_inferior_ptid alone doesn't
tell you which target that ptid is from, and I was just always using
the current target, which was incorrect.  Two different targets may
have threads with the same ptid.

I decided to fix this by replacing previous_inferior_ptid with a
strong reference to the thread, called previous_thread.

I have since found a new motivation for this change -- I would like to
tweak "info program" to not rely on get_last_target_status returning a
ptid that still exists in the thread list.  With both the follow_fork
changes later in this series, and the step-over-thread-exit changes,
that can happen, as we'll delete threads and not clear the last
waitstatus.

A new update_previous_thread function is added that can be used to
update previous_thread from inferior_ptid.  This must be called in
several places that really want to get rid of previous_thread thread,
and reset the thread id counter, otherwise we get regressions like
these:

I.e., GDB was failing to restart the thread counter back to 1, because
the previous_thread thread was being help due to the strong reference.

Tested on GNU/Linux native, gdbserver and gdbserver + "maint set
target-non-stop on".
