Yao Qi b67a2c6fd4 Associate dummy_frame with ptid
This patch is to add ptid into dummy_frame and extend frame_id to
dummy_frame_id (which has a ptid field).  With this change, GDB uses
dummy_frame_id (thread ptid and frame_id) to find the dummy frames.

Currently, dummy frames are looked up by frame_id, which isn't
accurate in non-stop or multi-process mode.  The test case
gdb.multi/dummy-frame-restore.exp shows the problem and this patch can
fix it.

Test dummy-frame-restore.exp makes two inferiors stop at
different functions, say, inferior 1 stops at f1 while inferior 2
stops at f2.  Set a breakpoint to a function, do the inferior call
in two inferiors, and GDB has two dummy frames of the same frame_id.
When the inferior call is finished, GDB will look up a dummy frame
from its stack/list and restore the inferior's regcache.  Two
inferiors are finished in different orders, the inferiors' states are
restored differently, which is wrong.  Running dummy-frame-restore.exp
under un-patched GDB, we'll get two fails:

FAIL: gdb.multi/dummy-frame-restore.exp: inf 2 first: after infcall: bt in inferior 2
FAIL: gdb.multi/dummy-frame-restore.exp: inf 2 first: after infcall: bt in inferior 1

With this patch applied, GDB will choose the correct dummy_frame to
restore for a given inferior, because ptid is considered when looking up
dummy frames.  Two fails above are fixed.

Regression tested on x86_64-linux, both native and gdbserver.
