    gdb/mi: fix use after free of frame_info causing spurious notifications
    
    In commit:
    
      commit a2757c4ed693cef4ecc4dcdcb2518353eb6b3c3f
      Date:   Wed Mar 16 15:08:22 2022 +0000
    
          gdb/mi: consistently notify user when GDB/MI client uses -thread-select
    
    Changes were made to GDB to address some inconsistencies in when
    notifications are sent from a MI terminal to a CLI terminal (when
    multiple terminals are in use, see new-ui command).
    
    Unfortunately, in order to track when the currently selected frame has
    changed, that commit grabs a frame_info pointer before and after an MI
    command has executed, and compares the pointers to see if the frame
    has changed.
    
    This is not safe.
    
    If the frame cache is deleted for any reason then the frame_info
    pointer captured before the command started, is no longer valid, and
    any comparisons based on that pointer are undefined.
    
    This was leading to random test failures for some folk, see:
    
      https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-March/186867.html
    
    This commit changes GDB so we no longer hold frame_info pointers, but
    instead store the frame_id and frame_level, this is safe even when the
    frame cache is flushed.
