Right.  I actually think I introduced is_running in one of those early
non-stop patches  :-)  It goes hand in hand with set_running.  By
your reasoning, we should make it set_running_ptid too.

There are actually very few places that need to check for
is_executing, (frame.c, stack.c), and I don't expect much more.
None of these places have a thread_info pointer around.  I can change
the interface, no problem with me, but in this case, we only need the
ptid form currently.

The is_stopped method is only introduced in patch 10 actually.

We could also do is_stopped_thread (struct thread_info *) instead,
as I expect the ptid versions to be used more often.

I'll wait for review on it (as it is the patch that will probably need
more adjustement) before making interface changes, OK?
