This renaming was done to stay consistent with the naming of the new
gdb.InferiorThread.handle method. I had initially named it "thread_handle"
but Tom Tromey suggested just "handle".
The old name (thread_from_thread_handle) still works, but is marked as
deprecated in comments in the code as well as in the documentation.
I have some code which uses these functions. I very much like the
brevity of the new names.
