  When a target and its target beneath use different ptids to identify a
thread the regcaches ptid has to be set/restored when calls are passed down
to the target beneath to e.g. fetch_registers.  Add a scoped_restore to
simplify this.

Though I don't understand yet why this is needed (I'll find out when reading
the following patches), the implementation looks ok.

I don't think this is an issue (at least for now), but there is this observer
"thread_ptid_changed" that indicates when a thread changes ptid.  If this
observer is triggered while we have temporarily changed a regcache's ptid,
I guess we could miss updating a regcache's ptid, as
scoped_restore_regcache_ptid will reset it to the old ptid.  It's probably
not a problem but I think it's good to be aware of this.
