Report current thread in -thread-list-ids output

- Subject: Report current thread in -thread-list-ids output
This patch makes the MI -thread-list-ids report the current thread.
It is advantageous for a frontend like Eclipse, that does not report
any details about a thread whatsoever except for the id, and whether
a thread is selected. If -thread-list-ids reports current thread, then
Eclipse can use -thread-list-ids as opposed to 'info thread', and be
a little bit faster.
The change in thread.c actually touches MI-only function, so I assume
I'm free to make this change. Eli, does the doc change look good?

Make -thread-list-ids report the current thread.
gdb/doc/
* gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Thread Commands): Document the
'current-thread-id' field. Remove the example with zero threads,
since current GDB won't ever report that if there's inferior.
gdb/
* thread.c (do_captured_list_thread_ids): Report the current
thread id.
