Display names of remote threads

This patch adds support for thread names in the remote protocol, and
updates gdb/gdbserver to use it.  The information is added to the XML
description sent in response to the qXfer:threads:read packet.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* linux-nat.c (linux_nat_thread_name): Replace implementation by call
	to linux_proc_tid_get_name.
	* nat/linux-procfs.c (linux_proc_tid_get_name): New function,
	implementation inspired by linux_nat_thread_name.
	* nat/linux-procfs.h (linux_proc_tid_get_name): New declaration.
	* remote.c (struct private_thread_info) <name>: New field.
	(free_private_thread_info): Free name field.
	(remote_thread_name): New function.
	(thread_item_t) <name>: New field.
	(clear_threads_listing_context): Free name field.
	(start_thread): Get name xml attribute.
	(thread_attributes): Add "name" attribute.
	(remote_update_thread_list): Copy name field.
	(init_remote_ops): Assign remote_thread_name callback.
	* target.h (target_thread_name): Update comment.
	* NEWS: Mention remote thread name support.

gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:

	* linux-low.c (linux_target_ops): Use linux_proc_tid_get_name.
	* server.c (handle_qxfer_threads_worker): Refactor to include thread
	name in reply.
	* target.h (struct target_ops) <thread_name>: New field.
	(target_thread_name): New macro.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
