Make "info threads" use the gdb::option framework
This makes "info threads" use the gdb::option framework to process
options. There's only one option today (-gid), and it isn't used much
frequently unless you're looking at matching MI output. Still, this
was in the neighborhood of "thread apply" so I had converted it.
The main advantage is that TAB completion now shows you the available
options, and gives you a hint to what the command accepts as operand
argument, including showing a metasyntactic variable:
(gdb) info threads [TAB]
-gid ID
(gdb) help info threads
Display currently known threads.
Usage: info threads [OPTION]... [ID]...
Options:
-gid
Show global thread IDs.
If ID is given, it is a space-separated list of IDs of threads to display.
Otherwise, all threads are displayed.
