I think gdb just reads the thread names on demand.  So, on Linux, it
doesn't really notice when they change.  (On Windows there's a different
mechanism and thread names can sometimes be seen by the debugger via an
SEH handler.)

Maybe gdb could use inotify on the comm files but it's probably not
really worthwhile.  For DAP, I don't think there's really a way to
notify the client of thread name changes anyway.

Anyway, this patch is ok.
