Currently the new_thread observer only declares struct thread_info and not it's
members so I can't identify the thread number in annotate.c

Yes, I could count the new-thread annotations and and only trigger things when
there is more than one thread.  It's simpler if I don't have to and I'm just
baffled why I need to go through these hoops for a small stop gap change that
no-one else is interested in using.  The only requirement I can see on such a
patch is that it doesn't affect anybody else's use of Gdb, and I think my
original patch filled that requirement.
