[RFC] Prints the frame id when target stops

We are optimizing the usage of MI commands into our Eclipse based UI.
In some cases, it could take a while (and sometime more!) to refresh the 
thread list and the stack frame, and Eclipse does it very often.

We'd like to avoid refreshing the thread and the frame view when the 
user perform a step (or a next) and when the program stops in the same 
thread and in the same frame.
In the stop reason we got the current thread id, but we are missing 
something to identify the frame.
That patch lets gdb emits on the MI output a string that could be used 
to easily identify the current frame.
If you are ok with this approach then I'll update the testsuite.
