Remove dead code and "current" field from MI thread output doc
The MI documentation says that -thread-info output contains a "current" field in the current thread tuple, with the value "*". Current GDB master does not do this, and I couldn't find any GDB version that did. I suspect that it was never the case. The code that would correspond to this in print_thread_info_1 is essentially dead code. The calls to uiout->text end up in mi_out::do_text, which is empty. This patch removes the documentation bit and the dead code. This "current" field is not necessary, since -thread-info outputs a "current-thread-id" field. gdb/ChangeLog: * thread.c (print_thread_info_1): Remove dead code. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Thread Commands): Remove "current" field from -thread-info output.
