Some GDB target displays thread priority and some usefull information in 
that string.
In ST we display the thread's name for some targets for instance.
I think we must keep it either in MI command -thread-list-all-threads or 
in a new MI command.



About current thread, it is displayed by an asterisk with "info thread" 
command, and gathered by Eclipse today from that output,
, whereas it could be from the  MI stop reply message.

Do we need to have the current thread ID in one of the -thread-blabla 
command ?
That would avoid storing it somewhere in the GUI.
