Description
We should support additional details for Threads, including a presentationHint, like on StackFrame.
Visual Studio shows several pieces of information for each thread: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/w15yf86f.aspx
Maybe we reuse ColumnDescriptor from Module for clients that want to support arbitrary thread details in a grid?
