GNU gdb 10-12 "New inferior" bug with BMD v2.0.0-rc1

[ALTracer]

After #2010, in January builds and later, I've noticed GDB version 12.1.90 stopped working properly with BMP firmware v2.0.0-rc1 and BMDA.
git bisect narrowed it down to this commit: v1.10.0-1548-g 1a9fc96. For reference, git describe v2.0.0-rc1~1 says v1.10.0-1606-g74fd17d0.
The interaction prevents debugging after hitting a breakpoint or doing line-stepping via next, including GUI buttons of Eclipse CDT.

Affected versions:

• GNU gdb (GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain 10-2020-q4-major) 10.1.90.20201028-git from ARM GNU-RM https://developer.arm.com/downloads/-/gnu-rm
• GNU gdb (GNU Tools for STM32 10.3-2021.10.20211105-1100) 10.2.90.20210621-git from STM32CubeIDE v1.10.0 https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/gnu-tools-for-stm32/tree/10.3-2021.10
• GNU gdb (GNU Tools for STM32 11.3.rel1.20230519-1941) 12.1.90.20220802-git from STM32CubeIDE v1.13.0 https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/gnu-tools-for-stm32
• GNU gdb (xPack GNU Arm Embedded GCC x86_64) 12.1.90.20221210-git from Arduino stm32duino core pulling xPack gcc-12.2 tarball, https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc-xpack/tree/v12.2.1-1.2
• likely gdb-multiarch 12.0.90, 12.1 from Ubuntu jammy 22.04 LTS (can test, haven't tested yet). https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy-updates/gdb-multiarch

Newer versions work correctly:

• GNU gdb (xPack GNU Arm Embedded GCC x86_64) 13.2.90.20231008-git from xPack gcc-13.2 https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc-xpack/tree/v13.2.1-1.1
• GNU gdb (Arm GNU Toolchain 13.3.Rel1 (Build arm-13.24)) 14.2.90.20240526-git from arm-gnu-toolchain-13.3.rel1-x86_64-arm-none-eabi.tar.xz https://developer.arm.com/downloads/-/arm-gnu-toolchain-downloads
• gdb-multiarch 13.1-2ubuntu2.1 (from Ubuntu lunar), self-built via dpkg-buildpackage (release gone)
• gdb-multiarch 15.1-1ubuntu2 (from Ubuntu oracular), self-built https://packages.ubuntu.com/oracular/gdb-multiarch

(and PR2010 was likely tested on some new enough version).

Older versions also work correctly:

• GNU gdb (GNU Tools for Arm Embedded Processors 8-2019-q3-update) 8.3.0.20190703-git from ARM GNU-RM
• GNU gdb (GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors 7-2018-q2-update) 8.1.0.20180315-git from ARM GNU-RM
• GNU gdb (GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors) 7.8.0.20150604-cvs from Ubuntu trusty/xenial gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_9 (release gone)

I've tried some workaround, that is replacing reported thread "1" with "p1.1", and it helped unbreak operation until next Run (with vKill).

Inspiration from daniel5151/gdbstub#104 which is a Rust gdbstub for armv4t tested against gdb-11.2.

I see three ways out of this:

1. BMD org declares GDB 10, 11, 12 too broken to support, obsolete, legacy, unsupported, so users have to upgrade GDB (or stop using BMF-v2.0 on BMP).
2. Maintainers revert the offending commit which does not solve an existing problem IMO (optional diagnostic logging from gdb internals with "guess" messages is not a problem, it always guesses the thread correctly).
3. Me or maintainers evolve the thread-reporting logic to some form which would work correctly across this many gdb versions, just like it used to work before that commit.

Related to #2018 (same symptoms).
