[lldb] Add ability to inspect backing threads with thread info

When OS plugins are present, it can be helpful to query information
about the backing thread behind an OS thread, if it exists. There is no
mechanism to do so prior to this commit.

As a first step, this commit enhances `thread info` with a
`--backing-thread` flag, causing the command to use the backing thread
of the selected thread, if it exists.
