gdb/mi: preserve user selected thread and frame when invoking MI commands

Fix for PR gdb/20684.  When invoking MI commands with --thread and/or
--frame, the user selected thread and frame was not preserved:

This caused problems for frontends that provide access to CLI because UI
may silently change the context for CLI commands (as demonstrated above).

This commit fixes the problem by restoring thread and frame in
mi_cmd_execute (). With this change, there are only two GDB/MI commands
that can change user selected context: -thread-select and -stack-select-frame.
This allows us to remove all and rather complicated logic of notifying
about user selected context change from mi_execute_command (), leaving it
to these two commands themselves to notify.
