Pedro Alves c658158d93 common/ptid.h: Mention that process_stratum targets should prefer ptid.lwp.
It's best that we standardize on process_stratum targets using the
ptid.lwp field to store thread ids.  The idea being leave the ptid.tid
field free for any thread_stratum target that might want to sit on
top.  This patch adds a comment in that direction to struct ptid's
definition.

/* The ptid struct is a collection of the various "ids" necessary for
identifying the inferior process/thread being debugged. This
consists of the process id (pid), lightweight process id (lwp) and

NOT access the struct ptid members directly.
process_stratum targets that handle threading themselves should
prefer using the ptid.lwp field, leaving the ptid.tid field for any
